Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Problem with GeoIP

Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2009 20:17:13 +0200
Hi Gordon,

Normally everytime you hit the Map button there is a folder created in:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Temp

The folder name looks like : Wireshark IP Map XXXXa03860 and contains 2 files:
ipmap.html
ipmap.txt

Do you see these folder/files?
Do you see the GeoIP info in the Endpoints (IPv4) window?
Also in the Packet Details Pane (IP)?

I use Mozilla Firefox 3.5.2 as default browser.
Can't get it working with Internet Explorer 8.
Wireshark Version 1.2.1 (SVN Rev 29141)

Best Regards
Joan
