Timestamps not working

Hi, I just installed Wireshark on two machines in order to track down "lost" webservice-calls: one instance on the machine running the WS, the other on the machine which calls the WS. What I'm missing is useful timestamp - per default, Whireshark is displaying a random date (2023-5-02 - no idea why) - "delta" always displays 0,0000. I tried every available time-value from the column's edit-list, but none was helpful. Is there a way to display the real timestamp?

TIA, Buzzy

Are you using Wireshark to do the traffic capturing on both machines?

If so, what is displayed by the "About" menu item (under "Help" on most OSes, under the "Wireshark" menu in macOS) on both of those machines?

Both are running Version 4.0.5 (v4.0.5-0-ge556162d8da3).

We'd like the full contents of that dialog as it has other important info.

as it has other important info

...such as the operating system on which you're running and the version of that operating system and, if the operating system is Windows, the version of WinPcap or Npcap used.

If the capture was done by Wireshark running on that machine, that information will be required in order to try to determine why bad time stamps were, presumably, written to the file.

That's also why we need to know if that traffic was captured with Wireshark or with some other tool; if it was captured with some other tool, that might be a problem with that tool.

That's an npcap issue with version 1.74, the timestamps were not set correctly. See issue 668.

To fix, install a different version of npcap, the current release version is 1.75
