Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Protocol column values while sniffing with wireshark - can

Hi,

Wireshark implements a layered view of protocols, like an inverted stack.

frame
eth
IP
UDP
QICQ

What you can do is disable dissection of any of these protocols. So in
your case disable QICQ dissection and be left with:

frame
eth
IP
UDP
data

Go to the menu analyze|Enabled protocols and disabled any unwanted
protocol dissectors.

Thanx,
Jaap
