Preferrably, capture on all the machines involved, and clearly label which file is from which machine to prevent confusion. This way, you can come back and review the capture if you need to. Go to File -> Save As, and pick a comprehensible filename (like 20060630-Stronghold2-capture). You'll get a probably long list in your main view these are your captured packets.
