Hi,

More people have reported this previously, so it would be helpful if you can provide some information. Can you please try to:

 - disable network name resolution
 - enable it and disable concurrent name resolution

and see what happens? Both can be reached through Edit, Preferences, Name resolution. Additionally, can you check if you have DNS servers configured -you should be able to see this in a command window typing "ipconfig /all"- and if you can resolve DNS names normally -like in "ping www.ethereal.com" from the command window-.

According to the error text, I understand you are using the latest Ethereal version, 0.10.7. If not you should try first by upgrading to it.

Regards,

  Francisco
