The PC running Wireshark has it's NIC set to obtain an IP address via DHCP.

If it is connected to a previously configured destination port of a monitor
session of a Cisco Catalyst switch (e.g. 2950), it correctly does not get
allocated an IP address. If Wireshark is then launched, the initial splash
screen is seen where the dissectors are initialised, but nothing else loads.

If the PC is connected to a port on the switch which is not spanned, it does
get an IP address. Then if this port is then configured as the destination port
of a monitor session and Wireshark started, all is fine.

It does not matter if Winpcap V4.0.2 or V4.1 beta 5 is used, the effect is
still the same. We have seen this problem on at least four PCs running XP Pro
now.

If Wireshark V1.0.8 is used it is fine.

Please see outputs from tshark -D from V1.2.0 and windump -D in case this might
help. Please ignore the errors in the tshark output about missing SNMP MIBs.

C:\Program Files\Wireshark>tshark -D
NOTE: you should run 'diskperf -y' to enable the disk statistics
tshark: The following errors were found while loading the MIBS:
