Hi All,

Just wanted to mention that I tried this on a Linux machine, but it was fine showing the interface list.  The issue I am seeing is on a Windows 2k03 machine.  I am not sure how I can troubleshoot this further to see if this is truly a wireshark issue or the platform itself.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Bhairav

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a limit on the number of virtual IP addreses that could be added to an interface before wireshark starts having a problem with it.

I had 1000 IP addresses already, but after I added a few more (10-15 more), wireshark's GUI stops presenting the list of interfaces when either Capture -> Interfaces or Capture -> Options are selected.

I've attached a screenshot of what wireshark displays when Capture -> Interfaces was selected.

Wondering if this is something intentional or perhaps a bug.

Thanks,
Bhairav
