Hi,

I have installed ethereal version 0.8.14.1 on a PC running under windows
NT4.0 (Pentium MMX 200 MHz).
I intended to watch a TCP connection (live capture mode)and everything
worked fine at packet level. Of course, it would be much more useful if
I could see the contents of the TCP stream. Unfortunately I always get
an error message that tells me, that I have to select a packet
containing the TCP protocol, before. Because I have selected such a
package, this message is not very useful.
My second question is about speed. I captured about 50 packets in
non-live mode (capture file size about 70kB) and the subsequent reading
of the file took up to 10 seconds. Is this what I can expect at the
system described above?

Regards

Günther Hiess
