Hi Honey.
1) None specific to WinXP that I know of, though others on this list
may have some input here. There are potential issues with capturing
outlined in the FAQ, particularly with capturing from serial (for
example, ppp) interfaces.
2) I don't know the answer to this. It also probably depends on what
you mean by "work". I'd guess that Ethereal/WinPcap won't "interfere"
with those firewall apps, but it's possible, and also possible (as far
as I know) that traffic might get filtered out by the firewall before
being received by WinPcap/Ethereal. Again, perhaps others have
feedback on this. Or, if you test this, let us know =)
3) Probably very little. There are some details in the FAQ
(http://www.ethereal.com/faq.html#q5.18), but Ethereal (or more
specifically, WinPcap, the software Ethereal uses to allow packet
capture ability) does not work well with PPP links.
5) I believe that the Ethereal uninstaller will not remove any
preferences files that are created.
6) Ethereal doesn't do a lot of "automatic" detection and diagnosis of
potential network problems. Instead it tries to give you additional
power and tools to analyze problems and traffic exchanges yourself.
You may be looking for something more like Snort
(http://www.snort.org), which is an excellent Open Source heuristic
intrusion detection/security scanning software.
