Q 1.6: Are there any plans to support {your favorite protocol}?
such as T1/E1 lines are all PPP interfaces, so those interfaces might
not show up on the list of interfaces in the "Capture Options" dialog on
those OSes.
- On Windows 2000 and later, installing the beta version of WinPcap 3.1
- might help, although, as it's a beta version, that might cause some
- other problems that don't occur with older versions of WinPcap; you
- should report those problems to the WinPcap developers, so that they can
- try to fix those problems before the final version of WinPcap 3.1 is
- released. WinPcap 3.1 will not support PPP captures on Windows NT 4.0.
- See the Ethereal Wiki item on PPP capturing for details.
+ On Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, but not Windows NT
+ 4.0 or Windows Vista Beta 1, you should be able to capture on the
+ "GenericDialupAdapter" with WinPcap 3.1. (3.1 beta releases called it
+ the "NdisWanAdapter"; if you're using a 3.1 beta release, you should
+ un-install it and install the final 3.1 release.) See the Ethereal Wiki
+ item on PPP capturing for details.
4. WinPcap prior to 3.0 does not support multiprocessor machines (note that
machines with a single multi-threaded processor, such as Intel's new
multi-threaded x86 processors, are multiprocessor machines as far as the
avoid those problems, support for PPP WAN interfaces on those versions of
Windows has been disabled in WinPcap 3.0.
- On Windows 2000 and later, installing the beta version of WinPcap 3.1 might
- help, although, as it's a beta version, that might cause some other problems
- that don't occur with older versions of WinPcap; you should report those
- problems to the WinPcap developers, so that they can try to fix those
- problems before the final version of WinPcap 3.1 is released. WinPcap 3.1
- will not support PPP captures on Windows NT 4.0. See the Ethereal Wiki item
- on PPP capturing for details.
+ On Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, but not Windows NT 4.0
+ or Windows Vista Beta 1, you should be able to capture on the
+ "GenericDialupAdapter" with WinPcap 3.1. (3.1 beta releases called it the
+ "NdisWanAdapter"; if you're using a 3.1 beta release, you should un-install
+ it and install the final 3.1 release.) See the Ethereal Wiki item on PPP
+ capturing for details.
Q 5.7: I'm running Ethereal on a UNIX-flavored OS; why does some network
interface on my machine not show up in the list of interfaces in the
of Ethereal and a shared libpcap library with DAG support, in order to do so
with Ethereal. You should ask Endace whether that could be used to capture
traffic on, for example, your T1/E1 link.
- There is currently no hardware to support capturing on SS7 links with
- libpcap. (Note that the fact that Ethereal includes dissectors for many SS7
- protocols doesn't imply that it can capture traffic from SS7 links; those
- protocols can be run over Internet protocols.)
+ See the SS7 capture setup page on the Ethereal Wiki for current information
+ on capturing SS7 traffic on TDM links.
Q 5.10: How do I put an interface into promiscuous mode?
"Capture Preferences" dialog box, but this may mean that outgoing packets,
or incoming packets, won't be seen in the capture.
- On Windows 2000 and later, installing the beta version of WinPcap 3.1 might
- help, although, as it's a beta version, that might cause some other problems
- that don't occur with older versions of WinPcap; you should report those
- problems to the WinPcap developers, so that they can try to fix those
- problems before the final version of WinPcap 3.1 is released. WinPcap 3.1
- will not support PPP captures on Windows NT 4.0. See the Ethereal Wiki item
- on PPP capturing for details.
+ On Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, but not Windows NT 4.0
+ or Windows Vista Beta 1, you should be able to capture on the
+ "GenericDialupAdapter" with WinPcap 3.1. (3.1 beta releases called it the
+ "NdisWanAdapter"; if you're using a 3.1 beta release, you should un-install
+ it and install the final 3.1 release.) See the Ethereal Wiki item on PPP
+ capturing for details.
Q 5.25: I'm running Ethereal on Windows 95/98/Me, on a machine with more
than one network adapter of the same type; Ethereal shows all of those
ethereal-users[AT]ethereal.com mailing list.
