I have to say - I've updated one machine to XP SP2 that ran WinPCAP and Ethereal and just built a new laptop to SP2 and installed them both on it and in both cases it worked fine. I used the latest releases in each case. It would seem to me that perhaps .dll issues (perhaps old remnants of previous WinPCAP or similar drivers?) or Windows Firewall issues (which I don't use) might be culprits for all those who are having these crashing problems. One thing's for sure - all of these apps work fine with a clean XP SP2 system. alan -----Original Message----- From: paralleluniverse [mailto:paralleluniverse () ev1 net] Sent: 24 August 2004 04:50 To: pen-test () securityfocus com Subject: Re: Ethereal Crashing on WinXP SP2 This Microsoft Article might be some help in the XP SP2/Nmap/Ethereal/WINPCAP discussion.
