Hi everybody,

I'm having a problem with ethereal.


It works very well with linux, but I have a problem in NT4: it thinks that
the incoming packets (via olicom tr 3140) are frame type "ethernet II". If
I uncheck "protocols/eth" it says "unsupported WTAP_PCAP=1".

This is with the current binaries.


So I downloaded the sources and tried to debug wpcap.dll, where such a
check is performed - I thought, the switch: default -> Ethernet10MB is the
case where it went wrong.

BUT: wpcap.dll is never used by ethereal!!! So what am I doing wrong?

If I try to say "decode as" it tells me about etherframe type xxxx, but I
cannot tell it to take them as tokenring frames.


What does work is to capture, save as, editcap -T tr in out, and reload the
file - but this way I cannot have a capture filter, and it's not really
nice to do.


Please help!


Regards,

phil
