Hi,

I�m looking at the same trace file on two different machines. One has wireshark v 0.99.5 installed, the other one version 1. With version 0.99.5 I see where retransmissions occurred but version 1 shows same packets as normal so I couldn�t spot problem immediately. Even expert info functionality didn�t report anything. On top of that with version 1 I can�t see the relative sequence, next sequence and ACK numbers only absolute numbers and I can�t switch from absolute to relative.

Is this a bug with version 1 or maybe an installation problem?

Both the things you're talking about (detecting retransmission by looking at the sequence numbers, relative sequence numbers) are preferences. Try going to Edit->Preferences->Protocols->TCP and selecting some of the options.
