Hi,

Usually to solve a potential network issue you'll prefer to capture the frames 
before they are encrypted. But if you want to see the IPSec frames or the 
tunnel, I usually place a hub on the link of the PC I want to capture and use a 
laptop running Wireshark and capture promiscuously.

Regards.

Well, given the fact that there were lot's of problems with VPN software 
(incl. Cisco VPN) reported - from not seeing any interfaces to crashing 
various software parts, I would say you can be glad that you see any 
traffic at all ...

See http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/InterferingSoftware for some 
more details and http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup in general.
