Hi,
I recently had to troubleshoot a colleges Wireshark problem(Windows). He got unexpected dissection of a USER_DLT even though it was defined to a specific protocol it got dissected as a different one
Not present in Wireshark. Looking in enabled protocols this protocol was present there as well. After much scratching of heads we disabled LUA and the problem disappeared.
Further analysis revealed that he had a network drive H: mounted for his Unix account and there in .wireshark a .lua file lurked.
Should Wireshark realy pick up files from there?
 
Regards
Anders
