Hello:
 
I am running Win2K SP3 and just de-installed WinPcap 2.2 and installed WinPcap 3.0 followed by Ethereal 0.9.13.
 
When I start a packet capture, things seem to go OK for a few seconds, then the counters of the number of packets captured seems to jump dramatically, followed by 100 % processor utilization.
 
Didn't have this issue with WinPcap2.2 and Ethereal 0.9.12.
 
Is this a known problem? Don't know whether WinPcap or the new Ethereal is causing this problem.

Thank You and Regards:
