Hi,

I have installed ethereal V0.10.3. The About Ethereal reveals the following.

However, I have installed winpcap and the following files are located in c:\windows\system

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\packet.dll
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\npf.vxd
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\wpcap.dll
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\pthreadVC.dll

I am running window98 SE operating system. Capture fails to start and I get the following message.

Caputre fails

Could some one tell me how to make it work. I am lost.
