Re: Timestamp Skew

Is it just the sniffer, or is the server itself also drifting?

I wanted to post here before clogging the bug tracker.

I'm running 1.2.2-22910 on a Windows Server 2003 box dedicated to 
sniffing.  I have captures running for weeks using dumpcap as well as 
some in the GUI.  My reason for posting is that the timestamps have 
skewed in to the future.  Right now I can send a packet to update my 
capture and notice about a 4 minute difference between the time on the 
box and the timestamp wireshark displays.  This does carry over to other 
systems when I open the files there.

Anyone heard of this.  I think the best way to reproduce is to leave a 
capture running for a day or so.

Thanks,
Lee
