Wireshark supports reading Endace 'ERF' format files created using DAG cards.

A file that old is probably not in ERF format, it may be DAG 'legacy' format, which is not supported by Wireshark.

I think you are looking at this file:

http://wand.cs.waikato.ac.nz/wits/auck/2/20000125-143640-1.php

The information on the Auckland-II trace set says:

"The recommended method for processing these traces is to use Libtrace, which we have developed. There are a number of tools included with libtrace such as a packet dumping utility, a trace format converter (for example, to convert to pcap), a trace splitting/filtering tool and a few statistic generators. We suggest you examine the Libtrace Wiki for more details on the Libtrace tools and the library itself."

Using Libtrace you could perhaps convert the file into pcap format in order to read it with Wireshark.

Stephen.
