I might be able to do so if I knew what an "error of write address
00000000" was.

You probably mean that when Ethereal tries to decode a NetBIOS packet, a
window appears on the screen saying that there was an error attempting
to write to address 00000000.  If so, then you get that because there's
a bug in some software, probably in Ethereal itself, causing it to try
to store through a null pointer.  If you sent us a copy of a network
capture file that caused Ethereal to get that error, it'd make it easier
for us to find and fix the problem.
