You probably have your buffer size set to 1mb (by default).  If you go to the capture menu, click on buffer size, the select the size.  I tried it at 1mb on my network and it was at 100% utilized with huge packet losses.  I set it to 200mb and I was at 1% with zero packet loss.  Those settings must be just a measurement threshold setting or something.

Is there a point to changing the buffer size, i change it then next time i log onto the server its back to 1.  Will this %Buffer when increased even effect my network????
