* We last supported NT 4.0 with version 0.99.4 (according toGerald Combs2008-06-251-1/+6
| | | | | | | wireshark.nsi, at least). Drop it from the "supported" list and add a note about NT 4.0 and older Windows versions. svn path=/trunk/; revision=25606
* We apper to spell it "TShark" rather than "Tshark", the fact that it'sGuy Harris2008-06-251-32/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "Wireshark" rather than "WireShark" nonwithstanding. Say we run on NT 4.0 rather than "NT" - I don't know whether we run on NT 3.x (and 2000/2003/XP are really NT 5.x and Vista/2008 are really NT 6.x - that's why Microsoft are talking about "Windows 7" as the next big release). In the capture-privileges paragraph, note that it's dumpcap that needs to run as root, and suggest not only that Wireshark shouldn't be set-UID root, but that it shouldn't even be run as root, and that the same applies to TShark. Update "How to Report a Bug" to reflect that we're telling people to report bugs on Bugzilla, and that "wireshark -v"/"tshark -v" give almost all the version information we want. svn path=/trunk/; revision=25605

* Fix up various product names and descriptions in the lists of fileGuy Harris2002-01-221-9/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | formats we can read; include vendor names. We should be able to read TokenPeek captures, as well as captures from the Windows versions of EtherPeek. Don't list the version numbers for EtherPeek and TokenPeek - those are file format version numbers, not program version numbers. svn path=/trunk/; revision=4599
* The Visual Networks tool that generates capture files that we now canGuy Harris2001-12-051-2/+2

* Note that Ethereal's and Tethereal's native capture file format isGuy Harris2001-12-051-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | libpcap format, and say that it's also used by "other tools" (tcpdump and Ethereal/Tethereal aren't the only tools that write captures in that format). Weaken the claim that we read Etherpeek files to say only that we read Etherpeek versions 5, 6, and 7 for Macintosh, so people don't conclude that we read Etherpeek-for-Windows captures (we don't). svn path=/trunk/; revision=4337

* Make sure to pass the sent/received direction from pppdump.c inGilbert Ramirez2000-09-211-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pseudo_header. Use generic "p2p_phdr" instead of "lapd_phdr". Modify toshiba.c and packet-lapd.c to take that into account. Add frame.p2p_dir, a filterable field, 0=sent, 1=recvd Make p2p_dir available in packe_info, as I think it will be needed in VJ COMP and UNCOMP dissection. Rename WTAP_ENCAP_TR to WTAP_ENCAP_TOKEN_RING. Mention pppd-log support in man page. Mention atmsnoop in README. svn path=/trunk/; revision=2455

| | | | | | | | | | | | examples of errors that generate core dumps, and suggest that a stack trace from the debugger could be useful for *all* failures that produce core dumps. Note that the core dump file may be named "ethereal.core", and note that "tethereal" rather than "ethereal" should be used in file names if it's Tethereal that blew up. svn path=/trunk/; revision=2368

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | editcap. Expand the list of OSes on which Ethereal has (at least at one time) been built and used. Note that systems other than Solaris that use DLPI (e.g., HP-UX) may also have "/dev" entries that can be made more widely readable and writable to allow non-root users to capture packets. Note that we can read "i4btrace" capture files. Note that we now always do SNMP dissection, and that an external library just allows us to do more sophisticated dissection. svn path=/trunk/; revision=1470

* Of the "zlib" functions we use that aren't in all versions of "zlib",Guy Harris1999-11-291-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | "gzgets()" is the one most recently added; it was added in 1.0.9. Check for it, rather than for a list of functions, when checking for "zlib" support - if you check for N functions, and they're all there, you get N "-lz"s added to the list of libraries with which to link. Indicate in the README that "zlib" versions prior to 1.0.9 definitely won't work. svn path=/trunk/; revision=1144
* Fix a typo, and just say that "ethereal -v" indicates the versions ofGuy Harris1999-11-291-4/+3
