|Hi cracks,
|
|I just installed the newest version on a fresh installed W2K3-Server.
|Installation was successfully. But starting ethereal over a 
|Terminal-Client
|session failed with the reason that there would be to less colors.
|
|I was looking for a possibility to change config of the 
|"Remote Desktop" how
|it is called by MS. But no chance to increase the number of 
|colors...! Thats
|a pitty! - I have now to login with something like PC-Anywhere 
|or Dameware and thats less comfortable and slower...!

You can also try VNC.

|Does anybody has an idea?

The problem resides in the graphical libraries Ethereal uses (GTK+), not in
Ethereal. I suspect you're using a GTK+ 2.x build of Ethereal. If so, you
may try uninstalling it and reinstalling it by choosing the GTK+ 1.x build
from the installer (pull-down item if I remember correctly).

Please note that the current version of Ethereal is 0.10.4.

Regards,

Olivier
