Hi everyone, Getting "malformed smrse packet (exception occured)" errors on our Win2003 server. Anything I should be concerned about? asked 05 Sep '12, 15:02  quickpath |
One Answer:
Please refer to the malformed wiki page. answered 05 Sep '12, 18:51  cmaynard ♦♦ |
In particular, note the list on that page:
Very often, the third of those is the real reason; for TCP and UDP traffic, Wireshark often has to guess the next protocol for packets based either on a port number or on the packet contents, and can guess wrong. For SMRSE, it's based on the port number; if non-SMRSE traffic goes to or from port 4321, it may be mis-dissected as SMRSE. Try disabling the SMRSE dissector.
