All,

Since I started all this :-), I just wanted to chime in...

YES, we were "slicing" packets when they were captured, so this explains
the "Short Frame" messages.

And YES, I thought the Short Frame messages indicated an "error", so I
agree with everyone's suggestions that a clearer diagnostic message will
be helpful.

And here's my two cents on the wording of the diagnostic:

	"Not entire packet was captured."

Thx again everyone.  GREAT forum on a GREAT tool.

Michael

So I'll pick: "Packet size limited during capture: tcp truncated" and
will change it later today. That sounds good to me.

Of course.

That was the intention I had when changing it the first time. As I'm
developing for Ethereal for quite a while (and don't speak english
natively), it's sometimes difficult to find the right words ...
