I've last ver (0.9.12) Ethereal installed on my WinXP. It's strange - in all
cases that I captured SMPP (Short Message Peer to Peer) packets on this PC
they are not decoded (all SMPP-traffic is showed as TCP-protocol and
SMPP-content is not decoded). I have file with previously captured
SMPP-traffic and SMPP-contend is decoded whan I load this file in Ethereal.
Why? What's wrong? I have SMPP-protocol enabled in Edit->Protocols list. But
it slightly strange that this protocol (as well as many other protocols,
that are present in Edit->Protocols list) is absent in
Preferences->Protocols list.

Below is good and bad examples:
