Hi Dutta,

Hmm, I'm not sure why you would need to set the preferences _before_ 
loading the file.  For example, when I read your first email, I did 
these steps:

- open the sample capture
- (at this point all my preferences were wrong: MTP3 was set to ANSI and 
neither TCAP nor CAMEL were set to use SSN==200)
- Edit->Preferences->Protocols
	- set MTP3 standard to ITU
	- change TCAP and CAMEL SSN ranges to include 200
	- click OK or Apply or whatever

Upon doing that, all the frames were re-dissected with the new 
preference settings and I could see the TCAP and CAMEL portions.

Regards,
-Jeff
