Hello,
I tried the procedure given in the reply to John Vo. It didn't work for me.
The IP I attempted capturing from is a printer with an HP JetDirect NIC.
I've also attempted to capture from a workstation with the same result.
I'm running Ethereal 0.10.5 (C) in a Windows 2000 environment. Workstations
are running either Win2K or WinXP. Servers are running Win2K and WinNT 4.0.
All machines are up-to-date on patches and service packs. I got the error
message shown in the attachments. The .DOC is in Word 2000 format.
Addresses I have attempted capturing from are: 164.106.71.2 (printer)
164.106.70.221 (work
station)
Can someone please help me? I really need to watch a few specific IPs
because of suspected hacking attempts.
Thanks for your help. I've learned a lot from these exchanges.

Can't you throw in a -e for link level info? And you're right about the
-s 0, I just throw 1500 down there out of an old bad habit and haven't
changed to -s 0 yet. :) Thanks for the reminder. I really need to get
with the times here...
