Having a look to the 
mail archive this problem was already posted on march 2002 ... 
 
2°) who is the guy that did 
successfully compiled the Windows ethereal.exe on download site 
?
pls reply in private in this 
case.
 
3°) Is there a "usual" size limitation for 
capture file (.cap) ?
Huge file (for 
example 500Mo) seems to stucks ethereal .
I didn't see in 
the wish list the ability to read big file (no need to split it 
then) , am i right ?
 
Thank U for 
help.
