Ethereal has problems under XP
I have tried running tethereal -D. although I
select to install tethereal I can fin no reference to it in the installed
programs. Funny! I then went back into ethereal to see if I could
access tethereal from somewhere in there, and the adapters are now
present. I have not reinstalled ethereal or done anything to change the
config of my machine. I don't understand but it does now seem to
be working OK.
Thanks to all for help and advice.
Clement

Alright, I am willing to do all possible tests includeing beta's and so
on.
Thanks.
Now I'm at the university, and
I don't have the sources with me. As soon as
I arrive
at home this evening, I will put a modified debug version of
tethereal available to you (either by FTP or HTTP, I don't know). Do
you
have a fast Internet connection? Tethereal.exe is
quite big.
