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. Arnold

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.
