2.3 *Beta*? The final version of 2.3 was released a while ago, and the
current version is 3.0.

What happens if you run it with the "-n" flag?
If it doesn't stop, the problem is that, when printing the packet
information, it's trying to translate an IP address into a host name,
and
1) there's no DNS entry for that name, and the machine with that
IP address isn't running NetBIOS code (so that when the
machine running WinDump tries sending a NetBIOS packet to the
machine with that IP address to find out its name, it gets no
response, and there's a long timeout - it's not stopping
forever, but it'll take a while for it to continue)
or
2) one of the DNS servers required to translate that IP address
to a host name isn't responding (which also causes a
timeout).
