Hi, mi name is Nicolas, i'm from Argentina and i have just downloaded the program Ethereal five days ago. I've to use this program for the university, i dont have a lan with switches or hubs in my home, i only use the program to study the different frames of the different protocols supported by the program.
I use the OS Windows 98 (se).
The problem i have is that when i downloaded the program i started to use it without problems (i installed in mi pc the Winpcap_3_1_beta4). But because i was having problems with my internet connection, i phoned to my internet provider to have assistance with that. They asked me to change some things in mi computer (such as instaling comunication again from the W98 cd). They didn't really solved my problem but that's not the point. The problem is that since i done that, the program ethereal dont captures traffic any more. When i want to do a traffic capture, it seems to be no traffic althought there is traffic because i'm connected to the internet. When i stop the capture i get the message: "no packets captured! as no data was captured, closing the temporary capture file!" So, thats my problem, and i dont know if this problem is caused because of having changed some things in my computer.
I will be very grateful for whatever you can do for me
Thanks!

NICOLAS
