Q 1.2: What's up with the name change? Is Wireshark a fork?

Wireshark: Frequently Asked Questions
In May of 2006, Gerald Combs (the original author of Ethereal) went to work for CACE Technologies (best known for WinPcap). Unfortunately, he had to leave the Ethereal trademarks behind.

Wireshark is almost (but not quite) a fork.

Q 7.12: Why does Wireshark hang after I stop a capture?

Wireshark: Frequently Asked Questions
The most likely reason for this is that Wireshark is trying to look up an IP address in the capture to convert it to a name (so that, for example, it can display the name in the source address or destination address columns), and that lookup process is taking a very long time. Wireshark calls a routine in the OS of the machine on which it's running to convert of IP addresses to the corresponding names. That routine probably does one or more of: on Windows systems, a NetBIOS-over-TCP query.

Q 1.11: Can Wireshark read capture files from {your favorite network analyzer}?

Wireshark: Frequently Asked Questions
Support for particular protocols is added to Wireshark as a result of people contributing that support; no formal plans for adding support for particular protocols in particular future releases exist.

Q 5.1: Why does Wireshark crash with a Bus Error when I try to run it on Solaris 8?

Wireshark: Frequently Asked Questions
Some versions of the GTK+ library from www.sunfreeware.org appear to be buggy, causing Wireshark to drop core with a Bus Error. Un-install those packages, and try getting the 1.2.10 version from that site, or the version from The Written Word, or the version from Sun's GNOME distribution, or the version from the supplemental software CD that comes with the Solaris media kit, or build it from source from the GTK Web site. Update the GLib library to the 1.2.

Q 5.3: When I try to run Wireshark, why does it complain about sprint_realloc_objid being undefined?

Wireshark: Frequently Asked Questions
Wireshark can only be linked with version 4.2.2 or later of UCD SNMP. Your version of Wireshark was dynamically linked with such a version of UCD SNMP; however, you have an older version of UCD SNMP installed, which means that when Wireshark is run, it tries to link to the older version, and fails. You will have to replace that version of UCD SNMP with version 4.2.2 or a later version.
