I try to use remote capturing for an interface named like
"rpcap://[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]:2002/port0:0". I don't explicitly specify a "Capture
File" in "Capture Options" dialog so Wireshark is supposed to use a temporary
capture file. Start of capturing fails and Wireshark throws an error message:
'The file "wireshark_port0:0_20121017142952_a93056" doesn't exist."'.

After this capturing of all other interfaces fail as well, Wireshark throwing
an error message 'Couldn't create signal pipe: All pipe instances are busy.
(231)'. Wireshark restart is needed to get it working again. 

I found that Wireshark creates temporary capture files to
C:\Users\mikhil1\AppData\Local\Temp. There I can see a file named
"wireshark_port0" whose name seems to be cut away starting from the colon ":"
character.

Remote capturing to temporary files works with interfaces without colon
character. Also, if I specify myself the capture filename it works with port0:0
interface.
