[ethereal-users] how to use ethereal

[Kiran Sirupa <ksirupa@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
i have finally able to install ethereal succesfully. now i want to
test it. i wrote an echo server and client which communicate on the
same machine, i want to see the data in the packets through
ethereal..how can it be done? i treid to open a file, it says it is
not a valid capture file..
i want live capture only..
i am very new to ethereal ..so please help me.

i was able to install gtk 1.2.8 , i used the rpm and bang..it did
every thing.

bye
kiran.
