Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Wireshark V1.2.0 & GeoIP

["Sake Blok" <sake@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Keith,

I haven't used GeoIP myself, but I know from the changes that it will create 
a temporary file to load into your browser. I haven't checked where it will 
create the file on Winwods, but it does it in /tmp on linux. Maybe the 
permissions of the directory that WS uses are restricted (or maybe WS tries 
to a directory that does not exist on your system).

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
     Sake
