RE: [Ethereal-users] Capture Temp file

[Jack Jackson <jack@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wasn't clear, they aren't steps, they are three different ways to do what 
you want.  Choose one of them and do only it.

How you do #3 depends on you version of Windows.  In XP:

From the Control Panel, select System.  Click on the Advanced tab.  Click 
on the "Environment Variables" button at the bottom.  In the System 
Variables window select the line for PATH.  Click Edit.  Add the path to 
the Ethereal directory (without the double quotes), separated from the 
previous entry by a semi-colon.
