In older versions of wireshark, I was able to open pcap files residing in a
samba repository which was mapped in my WIN7 machine as a network share.
This is the way I map the Z:\ drive:
net use Z: \\LINUX_SERVER\SHARE_DIRECTORY PASSWORD /user:USER /persistent:no

I only needed to double-click on the file I wanted to open from the explrer.

I new versions (I don't remember when this began to happen) I cannot open the
pcap files in this way. I get the following error: "The file XXX doesn't
exist."

It seems that the reason is that wireshat want to access in the same directory
a file named dumpcap.exe

Capturing what happens in the network shows that the samba server launchs this
error: STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND and the file is dumpcap.exe

The samba server shows in loglevel 3 this information:
smbd.log:  call_trans2qfilepathinfo: SMB_VFS_STAT of
sumin/ca/v7.5.3/1-DC/dumpcap.exe failed (No such file or directory)
((Complete transaction log is attached))

If I copy the pcap file to my hard drive and open it from there, the file is
normally opened. I can create new files from the windows file explorer.

The samba server version was not changed. I changed from win7x32 to win7x64 but
I don't remember if this change was done at the same time that this bud was
detected (I tought it was due to file permission problems)
