rpcap support in Wireshark 1.8

In Wireshark 1.6.8 in the capture options I was able to replace the selection of a local interface into: rpcap://[ip-address]/[interface]

In version 1.8 this isn't possible anymore. Please could you explain how I need to make a pcap of a remote machine in version 1.8.

Best regards, Theo

This isn't working. In 1.6.8 I also use an rpcap link. But when I try this with 1.8.3 I must search the interface via the host IP and that isn't working. I guess the rcap server doesn't support this. I hope there will be a future to just add the rpcap link.

When I follow the steps you posted everything works except step 9. When I select the remote interface the start button is grayed out. (Wireshark 1.8.3 on Win7-64)
