Ethereal Team, I was wondering if it's possible to setup Ethereal to highlight in some manner (reverse video is one way) line items that show errors. Examples include IP or TCP checksum errors (now marked with an "incorrect" , so it would be easy to add the highlight indication these points).

I find your tool incredibly useful. I'm using it to debug moderate load situations. Its still a tedious process to identify frames where problems occur (look for TCP retransmissions and work backwards from there). I think something like a highlight feature would come in handy for quicker error case resolution.

Thanks,

Karl Freter
