attachment is the file which creates new dissector. I just cut and pasted from readme.developer, change some variables reccomanded from part 1.3 of readme.developer. I changed ID_VALUE to 771 with the hope to display my protocol when data is sent through port 771. It build sucessfully. However, when I ran ethereal, send data through port 771 ( with both way, tcp and udp). The ethereal I just build display packets just like it usually does for tcp and udp packet. It doesn't show what I'm expecting. Please take a look at my file and tell me what I did wrong. Thanks

You should put your file into the epan/dissectors dir and add it to DISSECTOR_SRC in epan/dissectors/Makefile.common
