 I did so the way you suggested. But the problems keeps the same I still get the
earlier error message, but the packets are displayed. But I am not able to
stop it or do any thing on the GUI, that I think is because of high memory usage
of the program.

I had it before, but only a prototype returning zero without doing any thing.

Does this mean in any way that we cannot do it , or that we will have
to wait on until it comes  Or can we carry on and get our stuff in it ?
Is it just that this message will display while our capture will work? :-)

Looking forward for your favorable response!
