ok .. by using 'get info' I chown'd from admin to rd ... and ,,, anyway .. if I double click Wireshark, x-11 opens it AND all the network points are displayed. However, once I select en1 and capture, I can no longer get internet access from mail client nor browser ... even when I kill both x-11 and wireshark ... checking 'activity monitor' reveals they are gone ... but no internet access until I re-boot the computer. but in activity mon only x-11/quartz-wm/xterm/bash and x11 shows up. Wireshark does not appear in the monitor FWIW currently no capture is running and I have access. I will, after sending this, activate a capture and lose Internet until reboot. Also, no data gets captured on en1 ... BTW, thanks a whole lot for helping, I am totally stuck on this one but really need ethereal to trace a vnc problem I am having trying to access/control my elderly mom's computer remotely ... _______________________________________________ Wireshark-users mailing list Wireshark-users@wireshark.org http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-users
