Help - how to adjust capture buffer size of Ethereal? L 10-01-04

Hi,

We don't want to use Ethereal to capture millions of lines. Is there a way
to limit the capturing buffer size of Ethereal so we can capture certain
lines, say 2000?

Thanks,


T.

Use the -c option of tethereal ... or if you use thw windoze version:
click on "Capture" then "Start" and chose your limit. Either number of
packets, megabytes or minutes.
