How do I set the time zone for logging? What I would like to do is have my computer set for my real time zone (because I have a program that depends on having the correct time zone set) and have Ethereal log events based on GMT.


The answer depends very much on how the system you are using deals with time zones, time, and the like.

In a typical Unix system, you should be able to do this by setting an environment variable (e.g., TZ), as in the following:

$ date
Mon Jun 28 11:06:20 MDT 2004
$ TZ=GMT date
Mon Jun 28 17:06:27 GMT 2004

(using 'bash'; 'csh/tcsh' syntax will differ).

Justin

I apologize, I should have mentioned that I am using Windows XP Pro. I know how to change the basic setting for the timezone for the clock, but I don't know how to get Ethereal to use a different time zone than what Windows is using.

Sincerely,
