Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Error capturing packet

[Jaap Keuter <jaap.keuter@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Peter,

I guess you can't read a book either when asleep? So when your system 
goes to sleep it shuts the network interfaces. That just kills the 
capture session. If you want to keep programs running while your away 
from the machine, don't let it fall asleep.

Thanx,
Jaap
