Fulvio - thank you so much for your answer. I understand now that ethereal is 
hopeless (what a pity!!!). 

As I stated in the original message, then repeated it in my last one: are you 
saying that windump SHOULD WORK with this syntax? I have initially tried all 
options suggested in:

http://winpcap.polito.it/docs/man/html/group__remote__help.html

but none have worked. I have specifically tried the one suggested by Lee, 
simply because it was the one showing up in the analyzer, when doing a remote 
trace, thus one having proven workable. When using windump with this specific 
option - for example - this is what I get:

D:\analyzer>windump -i
rpcap://[172.16.4.21]/\Device\NPF_{9E34346C-ECB7-4E3E-A3B4-D06437F5C74C}

windump: listening on
rpcap://[172.16.4.21]/\Device\NPF_{9E34346C-ECB7-4E3E-A3B4-D0643

windump: Error opening adapter: The system cannot find the path
specified.

while analyzer works just fine with the same syntax ?!?

(lines above may be wrapped due to email client setup!)

PLEASE - one more question (which may actually eliminate the need for an 
answer to the above), now that I got your attention: the only reason for 
fighting this windump/ethereal with rpcap battle was that the analyzer does 
not seem to read the additional filtering I put in 
.\conf\data\filter_list.DAT. I have added, for example, a line like:

myserver traffic,port 8088

but the GUI on the analyzer does not offer this last option among the ones 
listed in the "Available filters" ... do I have to "compile" somehow that 
.DAT file into something readable by the analyzer?!? Or what else could cause 
this behavior?

Thx again,
Stef
