Re: [Ethereal-users] Illegal page fault

["Keith A French" <keithfrench@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have tried a pre-release of V0.10.7 and that seems to run OK on 98, 2K & XP. There is one minor issue that will be fixed when it is released officially. What I did find though was that 98 was best using WinPcap 3.0, and 2K & XP worked better with 3.1 beta 3. However, it will probably be best seeing which works best when Ethereal 0.10.7 is properly released. Sorry, but I don't know when that will be as I am only a user, not a developer.

Reposted due to persistent complaints about this problem.  These are the only two solutions that I've seen:
For those who recently posted about Ethereal 10.6 crashing, especially in WIN98, dzenizo's fix below may work.  Posted 10/6/04.

WinPCap 3.0 didn't help with Ethereal 10.6.  The crash appears to be in Ethereal startup, before WinPCap comes into play.  I uninstalled Ethereal 10.6 and installed 10.5a with WinPCap 3.0.  That works for me.

I'm happy to report Ethereal is now working for me!

 

I uninstalled Ethereal, and when I reinstalled it again, I selected the GTK-Wimp box (it's deselected by default) in the  " Choose Components"  window, that did it.

I just bought an elderly but intact Digital HiNote Ultra (on eBay) running Windows 98.  After downloading and installing WinPcap_3_1_beta_3.exe and ethereal-setup-0.10.6.exe the only result of attempting to run ethereal is:

This is quite reproducible.  It is my sincere hope that somebody reading this has experienced this problem, knows how to fix it and it willing to share that knowledge with bohrer1@xxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks!
