Does everybody has seen a RIP frame of 25 routes in the Sniffer?

I have been having troubles with the RIP updates between two router. One of them have a routing table of 150 routes.
When I use the Sniffer to see the traffic, I filter the RIP frames and in the detail view I pretend to see the 25 records (rip can send up to 25 records by frame)but I only see 18 or 20 but in the hex view I found the other ones.
Are there any one that has thet kind of trouble or know what is happening?

I presume you are running SnifferPro 4.5. If so, go into display settings. Make sure the number of display lines is set to a large number. The default is 256 lines and I have found that to be too small in many cases.

Hey cpete:
You was perfectly right, that was my problem.
I really appreciate your help! ;)
 
marcosR,

I'm glad that was it. The problem comes up frequently if you're looking at a fragments of a conversation that Sniffer reassembles. The reassembled sequence can be very large. I have seen reassembled sequences over 100k. This can result in tens of thousands of detail lines.
