You must execute tcpdump as the root user.

On my machine I am always the root user, but the stupid distros have their
own ridiculous security philosophy.  I believe that their asinine command
workaround is this:

sudo tcpdump

Also, read the tcpdump man page or search for tcpdump web pages.
There is a LOT that the command can do.
