Hi,

To display using GMT, if you use the cmd.exe command shell (which is the default on windows XP, for example)
you simply type the command:

set TZ=GMT

before you type the command to run ethereal.

you can put both commands in an batch file and make a short cut to it if you like...

If by "log events based on GMT" you mean "log packets to a capture file
and have the packet time stamps in the capture file be in GMT", the way
you do that is to run Ethereal - time stamps in libpcap capture files
are in GMT.

If you want Ethereal to *display* them in GMT, that's relatively easy in
UN*X, as per Justin Walker's message, but I have no idea how to make it
do so in Windows.
