Would you tell me, what is wrong.
Here is the error message.

The following errors were found while loading the MIBS:
-:0 1 module-not-found failed to locate MIB module `IP-MIB'

I'm not entirely sure what the root cause of the problem is, but there is discussion about it (which includes a solution) in bug 3163:

https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3163

Anyway the error just means that Wireshark can't load the SNMP MIBs. If you're not decoding SNMP then you can just ignore the errors.

(I'm not sure that bug really should be closed; maybe Wireshark's default path for SNMP MIBs is not correct.)
