Ah, stupid me... Sorry about that. But I must admit it is a bit confusing
as you say.

Umm, tricky when there are few packages (or none at all, filterd out for 
example)... The application seems to freeze when no packages arrives, and
I can't stop the capture until atleast one package gets trough.
For example: enter the capture filter "port 0", and try to stop it.


Btw, thanks for the help.
