FWSM Packet capture not working

[Tony MALPASS]

I have an FWSM running Version 4.0(8). When i setup a packet capture in one of the contexts it doesnt capture any packets. I have created an access list for the interesting traffic and applied it to the capture. I know the traffic is going trhough the context however it doesnt show in the capture.

Any idea's.

Thanks

Have you assigned the capture to the interfaces?

capture <capture_name> interface inside   !(or whatever interface you are trying to capture on)

I am running into this problem too. Did you ever get to the bottom of it?

Yes. When you make any changes to the ACL that you have applied to the capture you must delete the capture and re-enter it. It then starts to capture packets.
