hi thanks guy. but where on the status bar is the function that
shows how many, if any, packets are being dropped while capture is
going on?
At least in Wireshark 1.x, the status bar has three sections:
the section on the left has "File:" followed by the name of the
capture file - which will be a temporary file for a live capture:
the section in the middle has packet counts - if you make the window
wide enough, it will show all the counts:
Packets: {N} Displayed: {M} Marked: {K} Dropped: {X}
where N is the number of captured packets, M is the number of those
packets being displayed (which might be less than N if you have a
packet filter), K is the number of them that you have "marked", and X
is the number that were dropped while capturing;
the section on the right indicates which "profile" is active (which
might just be the default).
