Hi Xavier,

Please follow George's instructions as the text output of tcpdump is
not a "dump" in the proper sense. The important part is the -w
~/Desktop/DumpFile.dmp. This writes a true dump file which has much
more (extremely useful!) information. Using wireshark (or ethereal),
it's easy for the samba guys to visually exclude your VNC traffic when
they view the DumpFile.dmp so there is no need for you to worry about
it.

So, if you follow George's instructions exactly and attach the
DumpFile.dmp, all will be well.

Cheers,
Gavin
