Re: XPSP2 compatability

[Ben <ben () thegeekzone com>]

I have no problems using Ethereal on either of the two XP Pro machines I 
use.  I've run Ethereal 0.10.5a and 0.10.6 with WinPcap 3.0.  I cannot 
say anything in regards to Snort since it's not installed.

I have disabled the Windows firewall but don't know if that makes a 
difference.  I'm running Kerio instead.
