Hi again,

I forgot to add this other captured test (send to a file via "print" option, only summary):

I have private v4 addresses, and they are displayed without problem, but the IPv6 addresses 
(global) never appear in the display nor in the print process (only in the raw hex packet part).

OK, thanks,

            Federico.

Subject: Ipv6 Source and Dest addresses not showing on capture (Win2000)

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.)
