Hey

 

  I’m an assistant of Look ‘n’ Stop Personal Firewall product, and recently had a user come forth and report on the official forum an anomaly with Ethereal 0.9.15c detecting accurate Interfaces when Look ‘n’ Stop GUI is running.

 

He is running:

- Ethereal 0.9.15c (as mentioned aboved)

- Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition

- Dial-up (56k)

- WinPcap v3.01a

 

Error Message received when attempting to capture:

 

More Details:

Look ‘n’ Stop Personal Firewall uses Emulated Drivers for Interfaces, when Look ‘n’ Stop GUI isn’t running Ethereal 0.9.15c sees "PPP Adapter.: PPPMAC”, when Look ‘n’ Stop GUI is running it shows "Unknown: PPPMAC".

 

I recommended the user to update Ethereal 0.9.15c to Ethereal 0.9.16, and if the problem still persists then specify the correct name for “Capture Interface:”.

 

Do you believe updating Ethereal 0.9.15c to Ethereal 0.9.16 will fix this users anomaly? If not then how to proceed to fix this anomaly to use Ethereal when Look ‘n’ Stop Personal Firewall is running?

 

Myself I had not reproduced the this users anomaly when running Look ‘n’ Stop Personal Firewall GUI and Ethereal 0.9.16 on Microsoft Windows XP PRO using xDSL connection type.

 

Thanks in Advance!
