Hi All,
         I am a newbie to Ethereal and am working to build a pugin.
I hv  few  simple queries ....
1) As  per the Project requirements, I hv to use MSVC  8.0  and  nothing else. Is it possible to compile and build Ethereal using MSVC 8.0???  Has  anyone  tried  this??
  I hv read in the DEV's guide not to beyond MSVC 6...
 
2) The  current site for downloading pre-compiled  packages ( http://anonsvn.ethereal.com/ethereal-win32-libs/trunk  )  is not  accessible. The IP 65.208.228.225  is not pingable. So,  this  means   i) Do I need to download  all the  packages  like GTK+, Glib  etc  individually  to build Ethereal??
                                            ii) Is there any other  web site from which I can download the  packages?
