	I have a macbook white running 10.4.8. Have compiled both wireshark via darwinports and ethreal via fink. Ethereal is running. But I cant seem to see any other packets other than broadcast packets or packets directed at me. I am running ethereal using sudo in a x11 terminal. I had a older version of ethereal running on my ibook running 10.4.6. That works perfectly. Any advice from gurus here? I am running parallels also. Dunno if that interferes with ethereal. I notice that en2/en3 (parallel interfaces) are running in promisc mode.
