Help_Troubleshooting_ADSL_PPPOE_Connection_with_Ethereal

Hello:

I have a ADSL connection running PPPOE with a dialer interface on a Cisco
2600 router with 12.2 IOS connecting to Bell South

The problem I am seeing is that when I turn on ethereal and sniff
the traffic on my LAN going out on the ADSL connection
I am seeing a loopback on the mac address for my protocol.
The protocol type is loopback with 0x9000.

I still can reach the internet even with this loopback seen so I do not know
why I am seeing a loop on ethereal sniffing the traffic
going out on the WAN.

I ran a tcp dump on the same connection and I do not
see any problems with this. Does anyone know why I might
be seeing the protocol loop on my ethereal when sniffing the traffic.

Is there something I need to configure in my router
to stop this from occurring. Please note, I took all devices off
the LAN and left just my laptop (ip 10.10.10.4) and
my router (10.10.10.1) and the problem was still there.

I was seeing the same source and designation for my
mac address of my ethernet interface in my router.
(10.10.10.1)

I did not include the ethereal snapshots as it is a cap file and not sure how
to put the cap file in txt format.

Rack1R5#sh arp
Protocol Address Age (min) Hardware Addr Type Interface
Internet 10.10.10.1 - 0010.7b1c.a220 ARPA Ethernet0/0
