*Guy*, Thank you for your suggestion and the information that the -B option first showed up in Wireshark 1.4.0. That was good to know. I was fearing I may have to build from source but I am concerned about keeping it updated. *Jeff,* I tried to install a later version of wireshark 1.4 on my 6.3 box but ran into issues with GTK+ and others checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.4.0... no *** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why... *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the *** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly installed. configure: error: GTK+ 2.4 or later isn't available, so Wireshark can't be compiled - I am new at the whole linux game, would it be possible for you to send me details on how the later version of Wireshark got installed on your 6.1 CentOS machine? - I am assuming it was installed from source and not from a repository, but if it was from a repository could you let me know which one? Thanx again everyone - your input is greatly appreciated! -John On Wed, Aug 8, 2012 at 1:13 PM, Jeff Morriss <jeff.morriss.ws () gmail com>wrote:

I just tried it on 6.1 and dumpcap did not complain when I gave it the "-B" argument.Not sure, but wireshark 1.2.15 is pretty old. Does it already support the -B option?Doh! You're right. I hadn't noticed that someone had installed another (2nd and much more modern) version of Wireshark on my 6.1 system (which was of course first in my path)... ______________________________**______________________________** _______________ Sent via: Wireshark-users mailing list <wireshark-users () wireshark org**Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/**lists/wireshark-users<http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users> Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/**options/wireshark-users<https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-users> mailto:wireshark-users-**request () wireshark org<wireshark-users-request () wireshark org> ?subject=**unsubscribe
