    hi,

    I managed to install etherape from src on redhat 8.0 but when I run etherape, all my hosts are "overlapping" with one another and its hard to see which traffic belongs to who. I tried to go to preferences because perhaps I need to set something there but clicking preferences, or stop, or even pause does nothing....any ideas?

    p.s. when I fire up etherape I am getting libglade warnings...perhaps that is the src of my problems as well?

    TIA

      hola

      I use etherape on a LAN with 20 hosts , 1 gw, no public IP, office environment. wins and macs and linux server. I use it from a laptop PIII-700 380 RAM , from Gnome 2.4 on Debian unstable.

      when it starts up, the capture mode is IP, change to ethernet mode and the thing goes more stable (something to do with NAT on your network, i think...)

      I can set preferences but sometimes I can't drag the protocols tab (i got to do it slowly as on an old processor, but mine's not!), and if I left the desktop for a while when I come back the window is blank dead, as if it has ran out of memory... acording to gkrellm there is no abuse of resources,

      I also get the glade warnings, and I installed from a .deb package, not from sources.

      hope it helps...what are the advantages of compiling such an application over the pre-compiled binaries?

      regards
