That is not the case. The reported error persists at least on some installations of W2000
SP4.
Wireshark 1.2.5 works on the same platform. Error: "The procedure entry point getaddrinfo could not be located in the
dynamic link
library W32_32.dll"This call is made from the c-ares library, not wireshark itself. According to MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms738520%28VS.85%29.aspx, see blurb near bottom on older versions of Windows) to use this function on
Windows < XP SP2 requires one to include ws2tcpip.h and Wspiapi.h
before
using the function. This then uses an in-line copy of the function if the system dll doesn't include it. This would mean building our own copy of c-ares. As all MS support for W2K ceases on 13 July 2010
(http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/search/default.aspx?sort=PN&alpha=Windows+2000&Filter=FilterNO)
is this worthwhile?1.2.7 will restore Windows 2000 support. It is scheduled for release on March 31. In the meantime you can get a prerelease version from http://www.wireshark.org/download/prerelease/
The prereleases do run on Win2000, but they exhibit bug 4449 (ridiculous behaviour on opening Capture Interfaces or Options dialogs) (tested up to wireshark-win32-1.2.7pre1-32260.exe). I suggest staying with 1.2.5 for the moment.
