We'd have to see the capture file in order to debug the problem.

If the capture came from sniffing with Ethereal, it'll be either in
C:\Temp or in whatever your personal temporary file directory is (on
Windows 2000, probably

	C:\\Documents and Settings\{your login name}\Local Settings\Temp

) with a name starting with "etherXXXX".

Try using Ethereal 0.9.5, the current version.
