Wireshark · Ethereal-users: [Ethereal-users] Windows XP Short Frame Problem

["Corey Wallis" <Corey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm using Ethereal version 0.9.1 and WinPcap version 2.3 beta on a Windows XP laptop using a Belkin FD5020 PCMCIA NIC to connect to the network.

 

On all packets that are directly targeted to my machine I can capture all of the frames that make up that packet. However, with any packet that is not directly sent to my machine I get a short frame error. This happens on all of the tools that I've been able to use so far that use the WinPcap library.

 

Is this a common problem, and if so how do I go about solving it?

 

With many thanks
