But the issue doesn't exist with Wireshark 1.2.9?
I'm running Netmon 3.4 and Wireshark 1.2.9 on a Windows XP Pro laptop
and, much like you, needed to capture some traffic over a VPN
connection.
I did the capture in Netmon, pulled out the specific application I was
concerned with and saved that as a Netmon .cap file.
Wireshark opened it as a Netmon 2.x capture file and only had issues
with the first frame where Netmon stores text information about the
capture.
Why does the problem only affect the dev versions of Wireshark?
