Wireshark · Ethereal-users: RE: [Ethereal-users] Hex address as source

["Craig Wicker" <CWicker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Whenever I see "old IPX" data on my network, I know I have a printer that needs to have the IPX protocol turned off so it will stop broadcasting 'SAP' packets.

Subject: [Ethereal-users] Hex address as source

Hello

 

I recently started testing Ethereal and I have a question about the source and destination addresses.  Much of the traffic I am trying to identify is old IPX data from the previous network.  Unfortunately the Source address is always in what I assume is hex, it looks like this:

 

00000000.000048af8d6c

 

I was expecting an IP address so I'm not really sure how I can use this information.  Could someone set me straight?  Thanks!
