I'm so glad to hear that! :-)
Thank you. I hope you find it useful.

And go look at 0.1.8.
It has my first shot at interman capabilities.

Running RH6.1 on an Intel P75 with 64 megs Ram, adaptec SCSI, dual 3c905b interfaces. 
I've applied all the latest updates from from the RH site. Downloaded, compiled and installed 
0.1.4, 0.1.5, 0.1.6, and  0.1.7. Nothing happens, nothing appears, can't use the New, Open, 
Save buttons, although using the same functions from the pull-down menus gives me the popup 
window telling me that the message isnt there yet. Let 0.1.7 run for about an hour, still nothing 
appears. Used tcpdump to check the interface, tons of stuff passing through. When I start 
etherape, I get: " DEBUG: pcap_fd: 5 " in the console window. Best regards,

George

Hi All!

I have succeeded to compile etherape 0.1.7 on
Sparc Solaris 7 with gcc 2.95.2.  The only thing
to change was 2 lines in src/diagram.c (line 132
and 133, replace sinf and cosf with just sin and

I've jsut realized this is already possible! :-)

Using pcap filtering you can do all sorts of things.
In your case, if you want to see who is sucking the most out of your
router you would run etherape as
etherape -f "src router"
where router is either the name or the ip address of your router.

Have a look at the tcpdump manpage for the filtering syntax.

Juan.

The funny thing is that etherape doesn't use most of those libraries,
and particularly, it doesn't use the sound daemon. It's just that
I think all gnome apps have to link with it, and glade added them for 
me.

Just edit the Makefile and extract -lesd from the line starting
with GNOMEUI_LIBS

This is weird as well. Most of the configuring script is done by
me automatically by glade, and I hadn't noticed it is not looking
for the sound daemon.

I'll try to fix it going the other way around:
not requiring so many libraries that do nothing for etherape.

The support is almost there already.
Notice the debug messages. It recognizes links in both directions.
And actually I drawing them twice! One over the other! :-)
I just need to add a command line option to draw only
incoming/outcoming traffic.

Ok. I'll try to have it done for next version.

Adding pcap filtering capabilities is planned, but pcap filtering
does not accept ranges, and so I'm eagerly awaiting for ethereal
developers to finnish their pcap replacement wiretap, which does.

Thanks for your comment. It's comments like this that make me feel
useful and (unfortunatelly) wake me up in my sleep at 6:00 to keep
on working on etherape. :-)

Juan.

Considering the speed of etherape's development, yes it's certainly
on mind. (But further down along the road, just don't expect it to
come out next week) :-)

At the Escuela Superior de Ingenieros de Sevilla we'd call that a
"poyaque". :-)

Copied.

After received the third report today, I remembered that ethereal
developers were complaining about some unstandard patch that
RedHat was appliying to their pcap package.

I'll have a look at their source to see if they do anything
specific.

Thanks for the report, though. The first one with useful 
information. :-)

Stay tuned. I'll try to get it solved in the next version. :-)

[Etherape-users] Can't get anything to show up...

[James T. <ja...@in...>]

Hi, I'm downloaded & installed versions 0.14, 0.15, and 0.16, but I can't
get anything to show up in the window.

I'm using libpcap 0.40, with a RedHat 6.1 distribution on an AMD K6-450
with 128 MB RAM.  Tcpdump shows a lot of data, about 5 packets/second, so
libpcap must be working.

When I start up etherape, all I see is:
DEBUG: pcap_fd: 4


When it's running, top reports:

PID USER     PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT  LIB %CPU %MEM   TIME COMMAND
3125 root       0   0  3564 3564  2752 S       0  0.0  2.7   0:00 etherape

(note the 0.0 %CPU) which, to me would indicate it not receiving any
packet information. I left 0.15 up for about 2 hours, but nothing showed
up.

Humm.. I got the same report this morning. I need more info.
What distribution are you using? What pcap library version and
package version?
Does tcpdump show anything, ethereal?

Please provide as much info as possible :-)

Juan.

The diagram should come out inmediately, if there is any traffic.

I need more info.
What distribution are you using? What version of pcap? Do you see any
traffic when running tcpdump or ethereal?

Please provide as much info as you can think of. And thanks for
reporting. :-)

For your one report, there is probably dozes of people what all
fuzz with etherape is about, if it just shows a blank window. :-)

Juan.

Let's see.

Let me first ask you something? Do you see the diagram? I'm afraid
that's about all etherape can do right now. The only UI bits that
do work is the node resizer slider and the about box. Everything
else is just a place holder. But I'm getting there. :-)

The GnomeUI-WARNING I don't know, this is my first Gnome app, but
I suspect it's not related to etherape. It might even be
X related, I really don't know.

Hope this helps. :-)
Juan.
