On a Windows 2000 machine, we have been redirecting output from TCPDUMP to a text file. Unfortunately, when trying to open the files with Ethereal , we receive the error message:

"The file "filename" is not a capture file in a format Ethereal understand"

What could we be doing wrong?

We have tried Ethereal 0.9.7 and 0.9.11

Running TCPDUMP command:

tcpdump host "IP address" > text file

Thanks in advance for your help.
