In contrast to previous Sniffer Portable Professional releases, you can
now start a capture directly from the Define Filter - Capture dialog box
with the currently selected filter in place. This way, you don’t have to go
through the intermediate step of accepting your filter and then clicking
the Start Capture button (although you still can, if you want to!).
To start capture directly from the Define Filter - Capture
dialog box:
1 Select Define Filter from the Capture menu.
You can also click the button in the Capture toolbar.
2 Use the tabs in the Define Filter - Capture dialog box to set up the
capture filter.
3 When you have finished setting up the filter, click the Start
Capture button at the lower left of the dialog box (Figure 10-1).
