Hello,
I would first get the code built and try running wireshark. Then, figure out if your protocol runs atop of another protocol. For instance, http runs atop of TCP. Then, use the skeleton code provided. I would first get the minimum code written and see if that builds. Check to see if your proto is registered with wireshark and what not. Then this is where you experiment with all those functions. The best way to know how to use them is to try em and read the readme. I recommend this web page, http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/custom_dissector.aspx?fid=433815&df=90&mpp=25&noise=3&sort=Position&view=Quick&select=2259002. Use his code and play with it.
