Thanks Guy !
Now I have found the following files in the tmp directory:
etherXXXX7FmSGU
etherXXXXG21vKA
etherXXXXvVHyuE
etherXXXXzV301P
But I could not understand the data they contain (I openned them in a normal text editor - kwrite) ... In what type of program shoul I open them ?
I runned the Ethereal again and the first file changed its name. Now I have:
etherXXXX1NzDLX
etherXXXXG21vKA
etherXXXXvVHyuE
etherXXXXzV301P
Do you understand what this numbers and letters after the XXXX mean ?
Thank you,
Beatriz
