As there is no "special" reason why you should not see OSPF packets, I have some questions:

  • did you see any other traffic?
  • did you use any filter?

Yeah. That is why I could not understand it. I saw another traffic, like http, ICMP, etc. I do not think that i enable any filter. never saw this. Do you think that it because of any firwall or any antivirus ?

firwall or any antivirus ?

On your capturing system? Well, that's a problem and you should not run that kind of tools on a capturing system. Please disable those tools and then try again.
