Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Incorrect timestamp when using Airpcap

Hello,

 

One of my colleague  have run into situations with Wireshark where it captures incorrect system time? Like 1970 for the year???

He loaded the airpcap feature on is home pc to capture wifi packets from his laptop as part of the HP / INTEL trouble we have open. Commview captured time 11 minutes out, but Wireshark defaults back to 1970-01-01 for some reason…

 

I don’t see why he is have this issue.

 

He’s tried Wireshark V. 1.12.3 and backed down to V. 1.10.12. Both exhibit the same issue where date defaults to 1970-01-01 or 1969-12-31. He has reset time zone, date and time on the workstation. The workstation  is also set to update time via NTP

 

Any idea ?
