I am seeing similar problems. Slightly newer version of Ethereal and WinPcap. Does anyone have any suggestions/solutions for this?

Thanks,

Chad

How are you downloading the IP Log?

I have heard reports that when downloaded through IDM when running inside Microsoft Internet Explorer that the IP Log files can be corrupted.

When running IDM in other browsers there wasn't a problem, so if I remember right they think it is a MSIE bug.

Instead of using IDM try using the "copy" command in the sensor to copy the IP Log to an ftp or scp server.

Currently using Firefox 1.0.6. I will upgrade to 1.0.7 to see if this addresses the issue. I will also try an scp copy to see if that resolves the issue.

Thanks for the response!
