2011-06-17Added a note about Windows 2000.stig1-2/+2

2011-06-17Wireshark now builds and runs on Windows 7, but not on Windows 2000.stig1-1/+1
git-svn-id: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk@37698 f5534014-38df-0310-8fa8-9805f1628bb7
2008-06-25We last supported NT 4.0 with version 0.99.4 (according togerald1-1/+6
wireshark.nsi, at least). Drop it from the "supported" list and add a note about NT 4.0 and older Windows versions. git-svn-id: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk@25606 f5534014-38df-0310-8fa8-9805f1628bb7
2008-06-25We apper to spell it "TShark" rather than "Tshark", the fact that it'sguy1-32/+31
"Wireshark" rather than "WireShark" nonwithstanding. Say we run on NT 4.0 rather than "NT" - I don't know whether we run on NT 3.x (and 2000/2003/XP are really NT 5.x and Vista/2008 are really NT 6.x - that's why Microsoft are talking about "Windows 7" as the next big release). In the capture-privileges paragraph, note that it's dumpcap that needs to run as root, and suggest not only that Wireshark shouldn't be set-UID root, but that it shouldn't even be run as root, and that the same applies to TShark. Update "How to Report a Bug" to reflect that we're telling people to report bugs on Bugzilla, and that "wireshark -v"/"tshark -v" give almost all the version information we want. git-svn-id: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk@25605 f5534014-38df-0310-8fa8-9805f1628bb7

2004-07-18Set the svn:eol-style property on all text files to "native", so thatguy1-1/+1
they have LF at the end of the line on UN*X and CR/LF on Windows; hopefully this means that if a CR/LF version is checked in on Windows, the CRs will be stripped so that they show up only when checked out on Windows, not on UN*X. git-svn-id: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk@11400 f5534014-38df-0310-8fa8-9805f1628bb7

2004-01-07Update the list of OSes and OS versions on which Ethereal is known toguy1-6/+11
work (or inferred to work - some lists were changed to "XXX and later", on the assumption that later releases didn't break anything). git-svn-id: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk@9592 f5534014-38df-0310-8fa8-9805f1628bb7

git-svn-id: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk@5922 f5534014-38df-0310-8fa8-9805f1628bb7
2002-05-29Update the item on turning off name resolution to mention the "-N" flagguy1-8/+18
and the preference item. git-svn-id: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk@5591 f5534014-38df-0310-8fa8-9805f1628bb7
2002-05-20Update the README to refer to "--without-ucdsnmp" rather thanguy1-10/+12
"--disable-snmp", and to note that UCD SNMP 4.2.4 *or later* fix the potential buffer overflow problems. git-svn-id: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk@5514 f5534014-38df-0310-8fa8-9805f1628bb7
2002-05-15Add Greg Morris as author of NCP dissector.gram1-10/+1
Remove paragraph begging for help on NCP dissector from README. git-svn-id: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk@5482 f5534014-38df-0310-8fa8-9805f1628bb7
2002-03-11Update various README and INSTALL files to reflect the requirement forguy1-7/+14
UCD SNMP 4.2.2 or later if you want MIB-reading support. git-svn-id: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk@4926 f5534014-38df-0310-8fa8-9805f1628bb7
2002-01-29Untested support for AiroPeek captures.guy1-2/+2
git-svn-id: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk@4619 f5534014-38df-0310-8fa8-9805f1628bb7
2002-01-22Fix up various product names and descriptions in the lists of fileguy1-9/+9
formats we can read; include vendor names. We should be able to read TokenPeek captures, as well as captures from the Windows versions of EtherPeek. Don't list the version numbers for EtherPeek and TokenPeek - those are file format version numbers, not program version numbers. git-svn-id: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk@4599 f5534014-38df-0310-8fa8-9805f1628bb7
2001-12-05The Visual Networks tool that generates capture files that we now canguy1-2/+2
read is Visual UpTime. git-svn-id: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk@4339 f5534014-38df-0310-8fa8-9805f1628bb7
2001-12-05Note that Ethereal's and Tethereal's native capture file format isguy1-3/+3
libpcap format, and say that it's also used by "other tools" (tcpdump and Ethereal/Tethereal aren't the only tools that write captures in that format). Weaken the claim that we read Etherpeek files to say only that we read Etherpeek versions 5, 6, and 7 for Macintosh, so people don't conclude that we read Etherpeek-for-Windows captures (we don't). git-svn-id: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk@4337 f5534014-38df-0310-8fa8-9805f1628bb7
2001-12-04Update the README file to reflect the current list of capture fileguy1-5/+8
formats we can read (and to put them in the order in which they're mentioned in the man pages, to make it easier to make sure the lists are the same). git-svn-id: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk@4330 f5534014-38df-0310-8fa8-9805f1628bb7

2000-09-21Make sure to pass the sent/received direction from pppdump.c ingram1-1/+2
pseudo_header. Use generic "p2p_phdr" instead of "lapd_phdr". Modify toshiba.c and packet-lapd.c to take that into account. Add frame.p2p_dir, a filterable field, 0=sent, 1=recvd Make p2p_dir available in packe_info, as I think it will be needed in VJ COMP and UNCOMP dissection. Rename WTAP_ENCAP_TR to WTAP_ENCAP_TOKEN_RING. Mention pppd-log support in man page. Mention atmsnoop in README. git-svn-id: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk@2455 f5534014-38df-0310-8fa8-9805f1628bb7

git-svn-id: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk@2452 f5534014-38df-0310-8fa8-9805f1628bb7
2000-08-24Include bus errors and aborts, as well as segmentation violations, asguy1-6/+12
examples of errors that generate core dumps, and suggest that a stack trace from the debugger could be useful for *all* failures that produce core dumps. Note that the core dump file may be named "ethereal.core", and note that "tethereal" rather than "ethereal" should be used in file names if it's Tethereal that blew up. git-svn-id: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk@2368 f5534014-38df-0310-8fa8-9805f1628bb7

2000-07-28Add the re-write of the NetWare Core Protocol dissector. It's mostlygram1-2/+16
a framework for the dissector; of the more than 400 NCP packet types, only a handful are defined. But this dissector framework is much better than the previous one. git-svn-id: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk@2173 f5534014-38df-0310-8fa8-9805f1628bb7

Fix statement about Win32 version not capturing in README. git-svn-id: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk@1846 f5534014-38df-0310-8fa8-9805f1628bb7

git-svn-id: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk@1562 f5534014-38df-0310-8fa8-9805f1628bb7
2000-01-14Note that the Ethereal distribution also comes with Tethereal andguy1-18/+26
editcap. Expand the list of OSes on which Ethereal has (at least at one time) been built and used. Note that systems other than Solaris that use DLPI (e.g., HP-UX) may also have "/dev" entries that can be made more widely readable and writable to allow non-root users to capture packets. Note that we can read "i4btrace" capture files. Note that we now always do SNMP dissection, and that an external library just allows us to do more sophisticated dissection. git-svn-id: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk@1470 f5534014-38df-0310-8fa8-9805f1628bb7
2000-01-10Remove the reference to my old samples directory on the web server;gram1-4/+0
the new ethereal web site contains a link to its own samples directory. git-svn-id: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk@1450 f5534014-38df-0310-8fa8-9805f1628bb7
1999-11-29Of the "zlib" functions we use that aren't in all versions of "zlib",guy1-5/+6
"gzgets()" is the one most recently added; it was added in 1.0.9. Check for it, rather than for a list of functions, when checking for "zlib" support - if you check for N functions, and they're all there, you get N "-lz"s added to the list of libraries with which to link. Indicate in the README that "zlib" versions prior to 1.0.9 definitely won't work. git-svn-id: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk@1144 f5534014-38df-0310-8fa8-9805f1628bb7
1999-11-29Fix a typo, and just say that "ethereal -v" indicates the versions ofguy1-4/+3
the libraries with which Ethereal was built, rather than enumerating all the libraries for which it gives the version. git-svn-id: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk@1143 f5534014-38df-0310-8fa8-9805f1628bb7
