Hi. In the previous mail I asked you if you were using some custom compiled 
version of winpcap (wpcap.dll, packet.dll, wanpacket.dll, npf.sys), I'm not 
interested in Ethereal :-)

The reason is that the output of "windump -V" is not the standard one on 
windows XP, and this is quite suspect.

Have a nice day
