Hello etheral-users,

I am new to ethereal software and in need of some guidance using it.
could anyone suggest where I can find information on how to interpret
the results from the captured packets that is easy to understand.

I am trying to troubleshoot why some of my pc's are not getting an IP
address when it's lease runs out from the DHCP. I figure I would use
ethereal to see what is going on with the traffic on the network. I am
hoping to be able to interpret what's going on with the network and fix
it.

Thanks for your time.
Sidney
