I have a problem where
Ethereal collects packets fine but then hangs whilst decoding packets. Whilst
Ethereal is hung from a user perspective, it is actually consuming 100% cpu time
and continually doing DOMAIN NAME lookups (and flooding our WAN link). This
problem happens when "Enable MAC name resolution" and "Enable network name
resolution" are both turned on. Everything works fine if I turn
either one of these off. The problem only occurs when both are turned on.
This is running on Windows
XP Professional with SP1 and WinPcap V3.0 or V2.3. I cannot reproduce this
problem with Ethereal v0.9.12. This problem first started in V0.9.13 and still
exists in V0.9.14.
Is this a known problem? I
can provide more details but first wanted to know if this was a known
problem.
Thanks,
Geoff..
