I helped Clayton get past the paging file size ... however he now gets "hung" once everything is loaded.
Does Ethereal have a minimum processor power req? (He's on a 266) I can look it up but am being lazy and this is Clayton's fight anyway Mike -----Original Message----- From: Guy Harris [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 1:42 PM To: Clayton Mascarenhas Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Ethereal-users] loading problem On Sep 24, 2003, at 12:35 PM, Clayton Mascarenhas wrote: > The first message box states > " Your system is out of virtual memory.

There might be a bug somewhere in a dissector so that it goes into an infinite loop before it runs out of memory (that bug might not be in the earlier versions, e.g. because it's in a dissector that wasn't in those earlier versions, or because of a change to some dissector). > What should I do ? What do they mean by increase your virtual memory > pagin file? Do I need to increase the RAM size? That might help, but so might increasing the size of the paging file on your machine. (I'm not sitting in front of a Windows machine right now, so I can't tell you how to do that, as I don't remember how to do that and don't have a Windows machine on which to look at the UI.) That's what "increas[ing] the size of your virtual memory paging system" means. _______________________________________________ Ethereal-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ethereal.com/mailman/listinfo/ethereal-users
