Hi Jaap and all,


I followed that hint and found out :

All interfaces are connected (as seen in the table of network connections)
- the physical interface is connected to a switch and the loopback are
connected anyway. Still the same error.

However :

All interfaces had IP addresses, EXCEPT the physical interface. I prefer to
have the host out of the network and work with the guest machines only. As
soon as I gave the physical NIC an arbitrary IP address, everything worked
fine, no errors, no crashes !


Thanks to the list, you guys are great !

This should be fixed in trunk and the fix is scheduled to be released in Wireshark 1.2.1. If you're feeling courageous, you can download the latest build here (note: this is bleeding edge software):
