Re: [Ethereal-users] Decoding of TCP sequence numbers contained within ICMP messages

[LEGO <luis.ontanon@xxxxxxxxx>]

TCP uses by default relative sequence numbers, in the case of a packet
ouside the conversation (as the TCP/IP/ICMP/IP case is) it probably
does not try decode the sequence number.

Try disabling the "relative sequence numbers and window scaling"
and/or  "analyze sequence numbers" and see if in that case they ar
shown.
