I suggest you ask Yahoo about that.

There's very little we, the Ethereal developers, can, in general, do
about problems that are reported as "Ethereal isn't working"; there are
many, many ways in which it can "not work", so we'd have to know what
it's doing *instead* of working.

If the Juno software includes code that plugs into the OS's networking
stack, it's conceivable that it'd do that. I suggest you ask the Juno
people about it.

So when you say Ethereal "is not working", do you mean it doesn't
capture packets?

It means you didn't hold down the shift key on your keyboard when typing
the second "d" in "windump -d" - the flag to get a list of network
interfaces and, for the special debugging version of windump, debugging
information, is "-D", with a capital "D", not "-d".
