Build Information:
Version 1.0.4 (SVN Rev 26501)

Copyright 1998-2008 Gerald Combs <gerald@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> and contributors.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO
warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Compiled with GTK+ 2.12.8, with GLib 2.14.6, with WinPcap (version unknown),
with libz 1.2.3, without POSIX capabilities, with libpcre 7.0, with SMI 0.4.8,
with ADNS, with Lua 5.1, with GnuTLS 2.3.8, with Gcrypt 1.4.1, with MIT
Kerberos, with PortAudio V19-devel, with AirPcap.

Running on Windows XP Service Pack 3, build 2600, with WinPcap version 4.0.2
(packet.dll version 4.0.0.1040), based on libpcap version 0.9.5, without
AirPcap.

Built using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 build 8804

This is a rather trivial thing, but I have tested both the 1.0.4 and 1.1.1
releases on Windows Server 2008 Standard, and they both work. A few tweaks may
be necessary on the system (such as turning off chimney offloading) to get it
to capture all of the packets, but it does not crash or cause system
instability. I can post screenshots to confirm this if needed.

I think that Windows Server 2008 should be added to the list of systems that
Wireshark runs on, in the official documentation and site.

You also might want to get a few testers in line with Server 2008 to confirm
this, but at least on my server it works without any issue, aside from needing
to be a member of administrators to install WinPCap (but we already knew this!)

Also, I know that the build info says I'm on XP; it's because I'm not at the
server box right now.

Regards,
Mike
