Hi list
I observed this while observing a capture in ethereal on  win2000 and winNT . Data was captured on a
FreeBSD machines.
FreeBSD as well as winNT and Win2000 were on same timezone
ethereal was launched with -t a option
Now on FreeBSD and win2000 packet times were matching
On winNT they were not matching there was a difference of 3.0 hours (this is probably specific to my
capture).
Now my question is
How exactly timezone info is calculated. and used to calculate time (specific to -t a option)
If the ethereal routines are not able to find out time zone. Does any default timezone is set (this is
probably happening in case of winNT)
best regards
Naveen
