Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Problem Installing Wireshark and WinPcap

[j.snelders@xxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Habib,

There are 2 ways to solve this "problem":
-setup WinPcap
Select -> Services: Start WinPcap service "NPF" at startup (so users without
Administrator privileges can capture)

-launch Wireshark
right-click -> Run as administrator

Thanks
Joan
