Maybe you can try to use your debugger and place a breakpoint at an appropriate place in capture_info.c to try to figure out exactly why it's failing?

BTW, is there any particular reason why you're using 0.99.5 and Visual C++ 7.10?  You might try using VS2008EE as your compiler, as that's the one recommended in the online developer guide (http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChSetupWin32.html), and you might also try compiling and developing your plugin against a much newer version of Wireshark, such as the latest development version, 1.3.4, or the latest stable version, 1.2.7.

Hi,
   Thanks a lot.  I will check the source file about wireshark. But I still don't understand that I build *the same source tree*
without my plug-in and it couldn' work.
And more about the development of my version is as follows:

Version 0.99.5-lipps123
Copyright 1998-2007 Gerald Combs <gerald@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:gerald@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>> and contributors.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO

with libz 1.2.3, with libpcre 6.4, with Net-SNMP 5.4, with ADNS, with Lua 5.1,
with GnuTLS 1.6.1, with Gcrypt 1.2.3, with MIT Kerberos, with PortAudio
PortAudio V19-devel, with AirPcap.
Running on Windows XP Service Pack 3, build 2600, with WinPcap version 4.1.1

Any suggestion, I would like it.
