Thank you. But I did not enable the option "Limit each packet to xxx bytes" and I captured some packets with length up to 1514 bytes.
 
Best regards

At a guess, you didn't change the "snaplen" (the number of bytes of
each packet to save) from its default (which is roughly 64 bytes, as I
recall).  Check the doc to find out how to change that.  You'll want to
set that value to something at most the MTU for the device you are
'sniffing' (e.g., 1500 bytes for ethernet).

Justin
