Ethereal on Windows is built as a 32-bit x86 application; it might work, but slowly, on IA-64 systems, but should work well on AMD64/EM64T ("x64") systems. If you want to capture packets, however, you will need the 4.0 alpha 1 version of WinPcap; older versions of WinPcap don't support 64-bit Windows. Note that the 4.0 alpha 1 version supports AMD64/EM64T, but *not* IA-64. > I need to use this tool with 'Use Multiple Files" option selected as > 'capture option'.
