Wireshark · Ethereal-users: [Ethereal-users] Absolute Newbie: Capture incredibly slow

[Bart <CaptainMcFly@xxxxxx>]

Good day out there!
I'd like to observe what all kind of software is sending to different
servers.
Especially what they're "talking" with each other incl. Headers,
Passwords, etc...
So I guess, "Follow TCP-Stream" is the thing I need.

However, I have a problem about getting Ethereal oder WinDump running:

I installed all drivers (WinPCap, Paket2k) and my capture is incredibly
slow.
All I get are maybe two or three packets in five seconds or so.
I tried to switch off name resolution ("Capture/Start/Enable Network
Name Res. Off"), but it didn't help.
I'm running Ethereal and Windump on Windows 2000 on an PPPoE-Connection
(German Telekom ADSL-PPP, "Engel"-PPPoE-Drivers).
It is even so slow, that my firewall (ZoneAlarm - I tried to to capture
with firewall switched off as well with the same result) doesn't show
any activity at all.
When I try to load a webpage with IE5.5 with capturing enabled, it's
loading for ages and finally I get error 500 "Internal Server Error".
Please, does anyone have an idea what to do?
With WinDump, I get the same error. However, I have installed two
different Packt Capture Drivers, WinPCap and the Paket2K Driver for
WinDump.
I tried to get Ethereal running many different times. Never succeeded...

Please help,
Thanks!
