Note that the vast majority of those on ethereal-dev, not to mention
ethereal-users, probably know little, if anything, about the details of
the WinPcap library and capture driver that Ethereal - and WinDump and
Analyzer - use on Windows.

People having problems with captures with Ethereal on Windows might want
to first check the WinPcap FAQ at

	http://netgroup-serv.polito.it/winpcap/misc/faq.htm

and if their question isn't answered there, try asking

	winpcap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

as suggested by the WinPcap home page at

	http://netgroup-serv.polito.it/winpcap/

(the WinPcap developers are currently subscribed to ethereal-dev and
ethereal-users, but they might read mail to
"winpcap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" more quickly, or closely, than they
read mail to the Ethereal lists).
