Network Monior and # Frames lost

I am new to network monitoring and need know what # Frames lost when buffer
exceeded means in Network Monitor. I would think this number should alwas
be zero unless there is an issue with the network or NIC.

Thanks

....or with the size of the buffer and number of packets captured.

This is not actually a NIC/network issue but based on what it
says: "...when buffer EXCEEDED..."

Increase the size of the buffer if you have this problem; or use
a capture filter to reduce capture size of unneeded packets; or
capture "partial frames" if you don't need the entire packet but
perhaps just the headers or lead data.
 
OK.

Thanks
