Hi Jeff,

you don't write the version of your Windows OS.

If it is Win95, following might help:

For systems Win95 and ethereal gt. or eq. Version 0.8.17, additional you
have to install the Windows Socket 2 Update, which contains the requested
DLL. It can be obtained under http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/

You can read further information at the etheral-user mailing list of April
2001. Guy Harris explained the details in his answer on Mon, 30 Apr 2001
