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?
