I had the same issue on both NT4WS & NT4S. I have W98 & Win2K machines that seem to be working OK. Haven't heard a good answer about the cause of this. I suspect it's DLL related though. I did fresh loads on the NT machines(no Service Packs), & load ethereal & winpcap. It worked fine until I rebooted, then got the same issues your reporting. The W98 PC is a laptop and has stopped working now. However tethereal works fine, it's just hard to see "real-time" due to the speed of the screen capture.

Subject: [Ethereal-users] Problem running Ethereal on Windows 2000

Hi,

 

I am trying to get Ethereal 0.8.18  working on dell laptop running Windows 2000.

 

I did not have any winpcap installed on my machine.

 

I have instatlled the "WinPcap 2.1 packet capture driver" and then installed "ethereal-setup-0.8.18.exe". I had no problem in installing either one of them.

 

When I run ethereal, and select Capture --> Start:

 

1] In the "Ethereal: Capture Preferences" dialog box, for Interface option, I am seeing four interface entries.

 

2] If I select any of the first theree interfaces, and whatever options I select I am only getting a dialog with an exclamation mark and the packet capturing never starts.

 

3] If I select the fourth interface, I get the "Ethereal: Capture" dialog, and it appears that capture process started but I do not see any packets of any protocal coming in it. I see all 0's for all protocols.

 

Can someone please help me in figuring out went wrong, and how I can get Ethereal to work.

 

Thanks.
