Hi,
I am a newbie to wireshark. I am interested in using the remote capture capabilities of wireshark.I have downloaded the 1.0 version of wireshark. The release notes of earlier release says that the remote capture facility is integrated in the wireshark.
But I do not see any options on the wireshark gui to do remote capture.
I could not get much help from any of the documents or in the web either on the usage of remote capture functionality using wireshark.
I wanted to know the steps to follow to configure the remote capture.
 
I went through http://www.mail-archive.com/wireshark-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg02940.html  mail chain but that didn't help much.
 
And in linux, the rpcap feature is not enabled by default. I enabled it and the compilation is failing.

Any information on how to configure wireshark for using the remote capture functionality and how it is designed would be much appreciated
Thanks in advance for the help
regards
Vijaya
