You can modify timestamps in capture files using the editcap command 
line utility.  In the most recent development versions of Wireshark 
(http://www.wireshark.org/download/automated/), there is a new feature 
under the Edit menu called "Time Shift" that has various choices for 
modifying the timestamps of packets:

	Shift all packets / Time offset

	Set (one) packet to time

	Set packets to time and extrapolate
