Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] SNMP resolution problems

I am having trouble getting SNMP resolution to work. I enabled it and restarted wireshark and then get this error:

 

Stopped processing module SNMPv2-SMI due to error(s) to prevent potential crash in libsmi.

Module's conformance level: 1.

See details at: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=560325

 

I noticed there are a few posts on the web about it, but no solutions. I am running:


Wireshark Version 1.4.0 (SVN Rev 34005 from /trunk-1.4)
Windows 7 Enterprise, 64-bit

 

I loaded that same SMI file into another SNMP browser and it opens it fine, and doesn’t report any errors with it. I also tried re-pointing the MIB directory to the one used by net-snmp and loading the SNMPv2-SMI module from there in, but I get the same error. If I am reading the file right, it doesn’t seem to import any other MIBs, so maybe it’s a formatting thing?

 

I did that via the GUI, although if I look under About Wireshark > Folders I see the pre-defined paths are still there as well as the new one I defined. So it seems like there is an issue with the included SMI file, and the GUI didn’t properly remove the default MIB path, so it’s still loading that one up and not the net-snmp file I tried to point it to.

 

Anyone have any ideas?
