Jaap,

Thanks I'll wait for bug 2253 to be fixed.

Hi,

I think you're on the right track. You may be running into bug 2253, see
http://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2253

Thanx,
Jaap

Jaap,

Thanks for that. Just to check I am doing things correctly though, as I
cannot get it to work. I have copied the MIBS into the

program files\Wireshark\snmp\mibs

folder and they are the same MIBs that I had working in an earlier
versions.
An example of one MIB name is:-

IC-GENERAL-MIB

Then in the bottom button for the MIBs to load I have entered the same
name
exactly.

However, when I do this and restart Wireshark, it crashes as it starts to
load. If I uninstall & reinstall Wireshark (or just delete the MIB from
the
above folder), when it next runs a dialog comes up to tell me it fails to
load as it says it can't find my MIBs. Of course uninstalling Wireshark
removes the MIB so it would say that.

In the previous versions I had to copy the MIB into the MIBs folder with a
".txt" extension (IC-GENERAL-MIB.txt) and list it just as IC-GENERAL-MIB
in
the MIBs to load.

I have tried this as well & Wireshark still crashes. I have attached
screenshots of the crash. If you think this is a bug, I'll raise it on
bugzilla.

Keith French.

Hi,

Yes, the old dependancy on Net-SNMP has been dropped. I.s.o. that libsmi
has
been introduced. You can configure it where it needs to look (the one
button)
and what it needs to look for (the other button). A 'standard'
collection
of
MIBs has been provide, the buttons give you the option to get more MIBs
in
from anywhere in your filesystem.

Current description isn't up to date, the wiki needs some attention in
that
matter.

Thanx,
Jaap

It looks like in Wireshark V1.0.0pre1 the facility to add other MIBs
has
been reintroduced. I know someone was working on redoing the SNMP
dissector - is this facility operational again?

If so is there any documentation on how to do this with the two buttons
in the Name Resolution section of the Preferences?
