Jaap,Thanks for that. Just to check I am doing things correctly though, as I cannot get it to work. I have copied the MIBS into the
program files\Wireshark\snmp\mibsfolder and they are the same MIBs that I had working in an earlier versions. An example of one MIB name is:-
IC-GENERAL-MIBThen in the bottom button for the MIBs to load I have entered the same name exactly.
However, when I do this and restart Wireshark, it crashes as it starts to load. If I uninstall & reinstall Wireshark (or just delete the MIB from the above folder), when it next runs a dialog comes up to tell me it fails to load as it says it can't find my MIBs. Of course uninstalling Wireshark removes the MIB so it would say that.
In the previous versions I had to copy the MIB into the MIBs folder with a ".txt" extension (IC-GENERAL-MIB.txt) and list it just as IC-GENERAL-MIB in the MIBs to load.
I have tried this as well & Wireshark still crashes. I have attached screenshots of the crash. If you think this is a bug, I'll raise it on bugzilla.

Hi,Yes, the old dependancy on Net-SNMP has been dropped. I.s.o. that libsmi has been introduced. You can configure it where it needs to look (the one button) and what it needs to look for (the other button). A 'standard' collection ofMIBs has been provide, the buttons give you the option to get more MIBs in from anywhere in your filesystem.Current description isn't up to date, the wiki needs some attention in thatmatter. Thanx, Jaap Keith French wrote:It looks like in Wireshark V1.0.0pre1 the facility to add other MIBs has been reintroduced. I know someone was working on redoing the SNMP dissector - is this facility operational again? If so is there any documentation on how to do this with the two buttons in the Name Resolution section of the Preferences?_______________________________________________ Wireshark-users mailing list Wireshark-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-users
