RE: RE: Ethereal Crashing on WinXP

Hi,

But in my case it is crashing after capturing 10-15 packets and I haven’t
installed the SP2 yet.

Hi,
 I thought I should mention this ,I had used Ethreal on XP with SP2 beta a
few weeks back and it was working fine for me .The only time it crashed was
when I had large capture files, which I had captured using netmon (half a
gig) filtered,in Ethereal.
regards
Anish

Hi !

Yep, a friend of mine had nearly the same trouble, but the difference was
that nothing was displayed on the screen. Seems WinPCap's fault, not
Ethereal's one (as winpcap is the driver that manages the NIC and puts it in
promiscuous mode...)

The trouble was simple: it was the Windows' SP2RC2 fault...does not seem to
validate very used tools as Snort or Ethereal. But this is a current thread
on this list ...

Hope this helps... :)

Hi All,

Recently I had reformatted my system and install the XP again. Earlier
ethereal was running fine on my machine with XP.

But now when I go for capturing the packet though ethereal it crashes after
I stop capturing. When I tried with option 'update list of packets in
real-time', it crashed after capturing 20-25 packets and capture info window
still showing that ethereal is capturing the packets. All the configuration
setting is default. 

I am totally confused and lost what might be the problem. Does anyone of you
also encountered the same problem.

I am using ethereal ver 0.10.6 and WinPcap ver 3.0

 

Best Regards

Vijay Mishra
