Hi Gilbert,
Thanks for your email.
I did install the packet capture driver as specified but when I run windump I get the following :
windump: listening on\Device\Packet_IbmTok41
windump: Error opening adapter
Cheers,
Ed.
(I'm off home now so I'll follow this up tomorrow)

First, I'm assuming that you installed the packet capture driver
as specified in README.win32. If so, does WinDump (available from
the same website as the packet capture driver) work for you?
You might be the first person testing Ethereal for Win32 with token-ring.
