Hello all.

How are you?

May I ask the following please:
I am capturing into file(s) with the following configuration of "Capture Oprions":

** Capture File(s)
**** I specified the path and the file name
**** activated "Use ring buffer"
**** Number of files = 10

** Capture Limits
**** activated "Rotate capture file every" 10000 kbytes

The result is:
** 10 Files each 10000kbytes for capture data.
** If capture has filled up all these 10 files it stopps.

Is it possible that these 10 Files will be used as a kind "Ring Buffer".
If all 10 files are filled up, then Ethereal will start at the first file again and overwrite.

Thanks in advance!

Have a nice weekend

regards
Karlheinz
