Hi all,
first : thanks to the developers for constant work on that awesome tool !
I switched to Wireshark 1.2 these days and there is a strange problem :
Using VMware, I can install and use Wireshark in a guest system (WinXP)
with no problems at all. However, installing the program on the host (which
is also XP), I can´t start it without a crash. I switched back to 1.0.4
(without changing WinPcap) and everything works fine. Reinstalling 1.2.0
gives the same error again. So I guess it´s not the WinPcap library, but
something else.
Maybe it´s the interfaces, cause the guest has just the emulated AMDnet NIC
while the host features the real card (Broadcom Netlink Gigabit) plus 5
MS-loopback interfaces. Disabling the loopback interfaces doesn´t help,
plus 1.0.4 has no issues with the loopbacks.
I copied the crashreport but don´t want to clog the mailinglist, I can post
it if you think it may help.
Best regards,
Oliver
