For some strange reason, my reply from yesterday probably got lost somewhere (I cannot see it in the archive...).

In any case...

It's definitely a WinPcap issue. Can you please report a bug as described here:

http://www.winpcap.org/bugs.htm

?

Please be sure to use WinPcap 4.0a1 for the bug report, as the log is much more detailed.

Have a nice day
GV

Temporary my problem has been solved by going back to WinPcap 3.0
I think the problem is really located in WinPcap and not in Ethereal as
I've the same problem when running WinPCap tools standalone.

Still I will try with Wireshark 0.99.2

First of all, you may try Wireshark 0.99.2, that's where the
development
continues.

I don't know it that'll fix your problems, however it should be the
first step to fix it :-)

Please report it on the Wireshark mailing lists, if it helped or not.
