Hi,

all of sudden, not sure what i did, all the smb or smb2 (tcp port 445) are now all displayed as tcp packets. I tried to Decode tcp 445 but there is no option of smb or smb2.

how do I recover this situation? A reinstallation of Wireshark doesn't get it fixed. I guess remove the Wireshark.app (on macOS 10.14.5) can help me, but I don't want to lose the current config.

thank you!

Try going back to a default profile, in the bottom right of the Wireshark status bar, click the profile entry and choose "Default" from the list.

aha, the 'Default' profile does show me the SMB traffic, so it is a problem of my current profile, any idea which configuration option could lead to this?

No idea what could be different. but you could save the default profile to another profile and then diff the newly saved profile and your faulty profile. Profiles are held in a profiles directory in your personal configuration directory (See Wireshark -> Help -> About Wireshark, Folders tab).
