Good luck with that.  It was attached at the end of July 2007 - 8 years ago, by
some unknown user "235-129":

https://wiki.wireshark.org/SampleCaptures?action="">

and there's no sign of an upload of a pcap file any time near that.  The sample
capture might no longer *exist* at this point.

People have an annoying tendency to use the Wireshark Wiki as free cloud
storage, uploading random files as attachments and not linking to them
anywhere.  This may have been another instance of that.

Alternatively, whoever uploaded it might not have had much of a clue what the
"Sample Captures" page is for - it's for *capture files*, not screenshots of
captures, and it's for capture files *with some descriptive text and a link* so
people can find them from the "Sample Captures" page.

I will remove the attachment and the reference to it.
