Dear Experts,
Hi. I first downloaded Ethereal a couple years
back. I was running it on Windows 95 with a very slow
external fax/modem. It worked beautifully. I have
since upgraded my computer and modem (CPI CommCenter
33.6) and now I can't get it to work (i.e. it will not
capture any packets).
I was first using an older version of Ethereal with
WinPcap 2.3. If I remember correctly the first time I
installed it on the new machine, I ran it and it
worked just fine. The next time I attempted to use it
it wouldn't work. I am able to run through the entire
packet capturing process, but it just sits idle with
0% packets captured, even though I know packets are
running through my machine. I am still using Windows
95. I have since upgraded my Ethereal and WinPcap
versions, but I still run into the same problem. Can
someone please explain to me why I can't use this
program? Is this because of some config problem (i
haven't touched any of the default values),or because
of my interface (PPPMAC), or is it something else? I
am a computer science major specializing in networks
and I would very much like to know what the problem
might be. The only thing I saw in the FAQs was
something about loopback interfaces not being able to
capture packets. Please help. Just email a reply to
pj_dumas@xxxxxxxxx. Thank you in advance!!
