I have no problems using Ethereal on either of the two XP Pro machines I
use. I've run Ethereal 0.10.5a and 0.10.6 with WinPcap 3.0. I cannot
say anything in regards to Snort since it's not installed.

I have disabled the Windows firewall but don't know if that makes a
difference. I'm running Kerio instead.
