+Choose ''Capture'' -> ''Stop'' to stop capturing, and ''File'' -> ''Save As'' to save your capture file.
+===== Using your capture file =====
+You can [[:contact|send]] your capture file to anyone who is helping to diagnose your problem.
+Please be aware that packet capture files can be quite large.  You should therefore generally avoid e-mailing your file to a whole mailing list.  You could make your capture file available on your own web site and e-mail the relevant URL to the mailing list, or you could e-mail the capture file only to people who individually ask to receive it.
+Please also be aware that a packet capture may contain sensitive information such as details of your network infrastructure, or (in rare cases) clearly visible passwords.
