I have to say - I've updated one machine to XP SP2 that ran WinPCAP and
Ethereal and just built a new laptop to SP2 and installed them both on
it and in both cases it worked fine. I used the latest releases in each
case. It would seem to me that perhaps .dll issues (perhaps old
remnants of previous WinPCAP or similar drivers?) or Windows Firewall
issues (which I don't use) might be culprits for all those who are
having these crashing problems.
One thing's for sure - all of these apps work fine with a clean XP SP2
system.
