Hi,

Funny.

Having had a closer look on my machine and also on the "versioning problem"
I see the following:

a) packet.dll is found in \WIndowsSystem32, the Ethereal Directory
   & the windump Directory. The one in the windump dir is smaller.
b) packet.vxd is found in \Windows\System32 & the Ethereal Directory


Remembering that Loris once sent me a special version of packet.dll
and copying it to the etheral directory solved the problem.
The version that Loris sent me was only 32kB instead of 36kb
as the others.

Good god, I would prefer dll-names like those for the
shared objects in unix, containing version numbers.

Sorry for all the trouble I made and thank you all very much for
the time you spent in helping me.

Bye, Jens
