Hi all, i have a captured file and i want to know the time when a particular packet is captured with respect to the first packet i.e. first packet is captured at 0 seconds. i am using the filter "frame.time_delta" which is giving me the time difference between two adjacent packets, but i need the absolute time. any help please!!!!

Right click the first packet and select "Set Time reference (toggle)", this will set that packet as the time reference, and wireshark will prompt you to select a suitable time format to use that, if not from the menu View | Time Display Format select "Seconds Since Beginning of Capture", and all packet times will now be relative to the previous marked packet.
