Hello,

Thank for replying!
Let me add additional information on the problem:

Yes, I am using Win2K.
I used the previous version of Ethereal 0.09.x before and it worked fine, no
such problem.  Suddenly, last week I noticed the problem.  Then I used the
tool Network monitor (netmon.exe) from Microsoft and it does not have that
same problem.  So, wondering that my current Ethereal may be old, I downed
load the new version of Ethereal (0.10.3) and it produces the same problem.

>From your email, I understand that the DLL from winpcap may be at fault.  I
will update that and try again to see if it fixes the bug.

No, I am not using BlackIce.

Thanks,
cdang.

Hi,

I got a little annoying problem.  When I run Ethereal on my PC, it captures
packets sent from the PC duplicatedly with different time stamp.  And I know
that this is Ethereal problem because I used other packet capture utilities
and that problem does not show up.

Attached is the capture file, and you can open it with Ethereal (file type:
libpcap)
The IP address on my machine is: 192.168.11.188


Is there any way to disable/work around for the problem?

Thanks,
cdang

What other packet capture utilities did you test with?

Ethereal itself does not capture packets at all and does not have the
ability to capture packets.
What can capture packets (and i assume you are on a windows host since you
get this issue)
on a windows host is the WinPcap dll from :
http://winpcap.polito.it/default.htm

Please test if the same thing occurs when you capture using other tools
other than ethereal
such as    Analyzer and WinDump  also available from the pcap guys :
http://netgroup-serv.polito.it/netgroup/tools.html


I bet that you will see the same issue.


Are you using BlackIce?
If so,  BlackIce or WinPCap, or the combination of both are broken under
some circumstances and will
duplicate all incoming or outgoing packets exactly in the way you observe.

I would advice to contact the vendor of BlackIce to see if they can fix that
bug or that bad interaction their product has with WinPCap.
