Wireshark to replace Ethereal

Due to trade mark issues, the software Ethereal has been changed to a new name called Wireshark (http://www.wireshark.org).

I find a lot of enhancements in Wireshark. The most obvious is that thee is no need to stop capturing if one wishes to analyse the packets. In installation, Winpcap 4.0 library is required. No need to worry, the installation program of Wireshark will remove previous version of Winpcap 3.0.

For those who are still using Ethereal, it is time to shift to Wireshark.
