problem with 5.0.0.22 since patch

ok ive been using showeq for a long time so i know this is not a problem with my network setup, i also have been using linux for a long time (debian), i really only use windows for EQ. and i can not figure out what is going wrong here. im using the debian packages and apt-get sources provided by tanner. i have confirmed with ethereal that i can see the traffic that my windows/eq box is sending. ive never had problems with showeq before so if there are any commandline options i should add to give more output please let me know

The first time i zone i get this line but it dosent load the info in the gui or do anything.

Info: Client Detected: 192.168.1.100

everytime i zone after this i get the following 2 lines

Debug: PCAP Filter Set: udp[0:2] > 1024 and udp[2:2] > 1024 and ether proto 0x0800 and host 192.168.1.100
Info: EQPacket: SEQClosing detected, awaiting next zone session, pcap filter: EQ Client 192.168.1.100

i searched the forums and found a post with a simmilar problem, his was due to using a switch and not a hub, i know for sure i have the proper network setup. ive also set up showeq for a friend and his is not working also, i have not checked his error messages yet but can only assume they are the same. anyone got any ideas?

Key words here are since patch.

If you truly have been using seq for "a long time", you'd know that patches often break the program, and you have to wait for a new version to be released that incorporates the changes the patch did to the game.

As with most patches, ShowEQ will need to be updated to match the changes in the data stream. Be cool, wait for the next release, or if you're more technical-ish, head to the developer forum and help with op-code discovery.

yes i do know that, and that has been the case for me in the past as well. but other people have said it was still working for them. so are you saying that showeq is not working for anyone?

argh never mind i just looked and that post is from a month ago. My mistake please delete this post.
