Re: No interfaces listed to capture packets

Michael,

Thanks for the tip on the interactive work around. I have created an 
alias that I can use everytime I need to use wireshark. I now have all 
the interfaces lised.

Looking forward to the "fixed" version of Wireshark for 10.6.

With regards,

David
