Hi Sake,

Yes double clicking ipmap.html opens the map in Firefox OK, but it does not load when you click the map button in the Endpoints display.

Keith.

Can you open ipmap.html in your browser manually? Does it show a map that
looks like it corresponds to your tracefile?

Cheers,


Sake

Both of those files are in that folder.

Hi Sake,

It will create 2 files, ipmap.html and ipmap.txt, in the folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp

Groeten;-)

Keith,

I haven't used GeoIP myself, but I know from the changes that it will
create

a temporary file to load into your browser. I haven't checked where it
will

create the file on Winwods, but it does it in /tmp on linux. Maybe the
permissions of the directory that WS uses are restricted (or maybe WS
tries

to a directory that does not exist on your system).

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
     Sake

on
my
main PC. Like you I am running Firefox 3.0.11 as my default browser and

JavaScript is enabled. When I click the Map button, it doesn't even
make
any
attempt to load the browser.

I have also tried it with IE8 & JavaScript enabled, but that is no
better

either.

Hi Keith,

Perhaps this is the problem:
the browser must have javascript enabled.

I don't have any problems using GeoIp.
I use Mozilla Firefox 3.0.11 as default browser.

I am trying to get this new GeoIP feature working in Wireshark V1.2.0

running
on Windows XP Pro. I have tried following the video by Laura Chappell
and
the article on the Wiki, but can't get the map to display.

I have downloaded the three GeoLite databases in compressed gz format
and
extracted them all to the same folder under My Documents. Then in
Wireshark
Preferences under Name Resolution I have set the GeoIP Database
Directories
dialog to contain one entry pointing to this folder where the
databases
are
extracted to:-

C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\My Documents\GeoIP

I then clicked OK and restarted Wireshark.

When I take a trace and then look in Endpoints, under the IP4 tab, I
can
see the Country, City, AS Number, Longitude & Latitude columns all
populated.

However, if I click the map button (with an internet connection)
nothing
happens.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Keith French.
