People,

Ethereal is a fantastic product, and I intend to use it in a teaching
environment to illustrate certain TCP/IP principles.

I have hit one small problem: Using version 0.92 under Windows/98 / Windows
2000, a simple FTP packet capture has some FTP frames mis-represented as
MGCP frames. If I turn off MGCP protocol analysis, this problem goes away,
but for some remote students, I am reluctant to add a further level of
complication to their studying of TCP/IP.

Do you know what the cause of this might be? Is there a fix now/anticipated.

Looking forward to your reply

Cheers

Simon Neild
