Hi,

That is what it is intended to do, to let you zoom into all the details of that particular TCP stream. Wireshark is made for drilling down into packets, it's not really a statistics tool.
Why can't any of the options in the Statistics menu help you?

Thanx,
Jaap

hi,

i often need only tcp connections listed (not each packet, but each connection), so i use

following filter:
tcp.port eq 80 and tcp.flags.syn eq 1 and tcp.flags.ack eq 0

to view the connections i right click on them and use "follow tcp stream" but whenever i do that

my filter string gets replaced by a filter to show the packets of this tcp stream, which is very annoying.

How can i deactivate this behaviour? or is there any other way to get a connection overview

(in the best case with a state (open,close))

regards,

Markus
