On Windows you need to replace the ":" with ";". There has been some
mention of this recently, as to whether Ethereal should automatically do
the replacement. I also notice that mouse-overing the text box pops up
this reminder.
I set "Preferences:Protocols:SNMP:MIB modules to load" to "ALL". It
takes longer to load, but stops things falling through the cracks.
