Hello Guy,
WInDump works fine locally. In the documentation I do not find how to tell
WinDump to connect to a remote capture interface (rpcap) but running it locally
works well.

I performed another test: this time I installed Wireshark 1.6.6 on Windows XP
32 bit SP3 and the rpcap on Windows 2003 32bit and the problem persists.
As a test I tried then to run rpcap on Windows XP 32 bit and capture the
localhost...crashes as well.
So does not seems a problem of 32bit / 64bit version.
 Regards,
Marco.
