Hi everybody,

         I am trying to debug some IPv6 communication between 2 devices (FreeBSD both), having a 
Ethereal-enabled Win2000 (I tried both 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 and is the same behaviour). I just noticed 
that the IPv6 addresses don't appear on the <capture> window. I tried ICMP, and Telnet, FTP and is 
the same... However, if I select (highlight) the line that corresponds to the source or destination 
address, I see that it highlights the address on the "raw" packet (the Hex info on the bottom). I 
also notice the same on tethereal... Maybe a "printf" lost somewhere?

         Seems like a "aesthetic" bug. But any patch/info would be appreciated. Overall, this is an 
excellent application.

         Thanks in advance,

                                Federico.

(Please, if you don't mind, please reply directly to me, cc: to the list... Thanks.)
