Title: Re: [Wireshark-users] Capture options default values

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your response.  For the disable "Ring buffer with" item, I was referring to the fact that when you launch Wireshark, the ring buffer is turned on by default.  I’ve set files to 10000 but was wondering if there was just a way to have it unchecked.

I'm not sure what you're referring to here.  Could you elaborate?

You can find out above the options listed above by typing wireshark -h at a command prompt or the Unix man page (a copy of which is available on the web at http://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/wireshark.html).
