I tried ethereal recently and found the following problem.

Ethereal captures only the traffic passing through my network card.
I case where app A opens a port and app B connects on it, and both 
A&B run on my computer, then windows routes the packages internally 
and nothing pass through the network card, thou ethereal can't catch it.

I there I solution to this problem?

What about Ethereal with appropriate filters? Maybe that would help,
depending on what you want to do. There's also Etherape if you like it
visually, but it only shows you that there is traffic of a certain
protocol, not what it contains.
Better make sure others on your network are ok with you using it,
though. You'll get their traffic, too, if you don't filter
appropriately.
