That is really strange, I have used ethereal for a long time now, I would agree that your winpcap install is messed up, there is nothing special you need to do to get tcp packets, oh and check your filters too, good luck.

It correctly captures all packets entering or leaving my interface, but in promiscuous mode, it only seems to capture ARP, NETBIOS, IPX, RIP and such protocols, and never seems to get any UDP or TCP packets ! I have tried other sniffers, and they all exhibit the same behaviour, so I dont think its a sniffer problem. Is there something else I have to do to capture TCP packets ? Or could it be something to do with Wincap ? Thanks Siddharta
