I was wondering if anyone has had experience with running captures of pre-tunneled 
traffic on a win2k machine running the cisco vpn client 4.01 release.

Part of the changes with the 4.x release vpn client is that now there is a virtual 
adapter that comes online when the client is connected in a vpn tunnel.  My problem is 
that you can capture traffic from this virtual interface, however you only see rx 
traffic, no trx traffic.  When you capture from the ethernet interface, you see both 
trx and rx traffic, however it is ipsec tunneled/encapsulated; in this case the 
capture works perfectly as designed.  So it appears that from the virtual adapter you 
are seeing the traffic before it becomes encrypted, however the transmit traffic is 
missing for whatever reason.

I don't think this is necessarily an ethereal problem.  I am just wondering if anyone 
has spent any time trying to figure out why no trx traffic is seen from ethereal or 
tethereal when capturing on the vpn client virtual interface, and if you have figured 
it out or found a fix, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
