Hello,

I updated my wireshark sources today. I'm at svn revision 29619. I had to do
'nmake -f Makefile.nmake setup' to update the libraries because 'nmake all'
complained that glib_2.20.4-1_win32.zip was needed.

Now dumpcap.exe does not capture packets. It was working before updating the
sources. I'm sure I'm specifying the correct interface. I'm not using any
capture filters.

The system is Windows XP with SP3.

Linux works fine with the same svn revision.

Thanks,
Hari

Hi there!

if you're talking about running wireshark-gtk2\dumpcap.exe, i've experiend it
here on my windows xp sp3. im on SVN 29634

I've never used dumpcap.exe directly using windows command prompt, but i just
did, and it says what file it created and nothing happened. when i opened it
through wireshark, the file is empty.

Did post a bug report for this already?
https://bugs.wireshark.org

Thanks!

1 case of working:
------- "Maynard, Chris" <Christopher.Maynard@xxxxxxxxx>;  --------
I’m currently at SVN 29625 and capturing fine with dumpcap on Windows XP SP3
with updated glib, gtk+, cairo & pango.  Can you try updating to the latest
SVN?


Steps to reproduce:
1. Update sources to svn revision 29634.
2. Cleanup using 'nmake -f Makefile.nmake distclean'
3. Build using 'nmake -f Makefile.nmake'
4. cd to wireshark-gtk2
5. Run dumpcap as '.\dumpcap -i <number> -w x.cap'
6. Create network traffic.

Actual Results:
No packets are capture.

Expected Results:
All packets should have been captured.
