Distributed Sniffer v4.2 (and 4.3, for that matter) support reading the 
NetXRay 2.x and 1.1 files, DOS Sniffer (commonly associated with .ENC 
extensions) files.  With the exception of perhaps some slight 
differences in how some of the fields are saved/interpreted, 
Distributed Sniffer reads files no differently than any other "recent" 
version of Sniffer.  It should be able to read files saved by Ethereal 
in any of the three Sniffer formats.  To prove it, I just tried loading 
traces saved in each of the three formats into DS 4.2, which worked 
fine.

Matthew, how are you trying to load the files?  Are they located on the 
machine running the Distributed Console, and trying to open them from 
there?  Are you pushing the files to the DS with, say, FTP, and trying 
to load them off of the DS?
