Thanks. Those are the steps I took yesterday and it seems to be much better now. As it happens, that is exactly the scenario we are looking for, a VOIP problem that happens every 10-20,000 hours. Kinda tough to catch.

 

Cheers, Bob

What have you got in display options ?� I have this problem frequently trying to capture intermittent voip issues that might not occur for days.

 

I had much more success unticking update list in real time, and ticking hide capture dialog.� The only way to see it is capturing is the status bar counter, watching the packet counter go up.� That would then run for days.

 

Updating list in real time brought it to its knees pretty quick.

 

I usually go for 50mb files because they're easy to work with and can be joined together easy enough if reqd.

�

We have been trying to do a long running capture and we cannot keep Wireshark up and running. WS is up to date. We are monitoring 1 port and writing out 100MB files. Each file is filled in a 2-4 hours. WS will not stay up forever. It dies every so often. We are trying a larger buffer size.

�

Are there any known issues?

�

Cheers, Bob
