Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Differing Timestamps Between Netasyst & Wireshark

I have a trace taken on a machine running the Network General sniffer Netasyst. If I then open the trace in Netasyst on my laptop the timestamps match that of some Cisco Call Manager QRT logs. If I then open the same trace in Wireshark, the timestamps are wildly inaccurate.
 
I know there was some problems with Sniffer timestamps before, but I thought this was a difference of around 6 seconds or so and was fixed.
 
In this case the first packet in the trace opened in Netasyst shows it as 31/07/2006 at 14:10:38, whilst the same packet in Wireshark is 31/07/2006 at 22:16:45:500826.
 
I am running WindowsXP Pro (SP2) with
Netasyst LX Version 1.0.003
Wireshark Development Release 0.99.3-SYN-18807.
 
Any ideas?
 
Keith French.
