Repetitive issue: TCP Previous Segment was not captured

Hi There,

I am seeing below pattern repeated in my Wireshark capture. On checking further I see weird message

"[4 bytes missing in capture file].<nminterface version="1"><nmrtrace><entry srcip="172.16.203.144" srcport="15000" tgtip="10.13.2.3" tgtport="15000" sts="nmsFail" err="Error Connecting To 10.13.2.3:15000 [Connect timed out.]"/></nmrtrace></nminterface>"

My traffic flow is Source 10.11.96.19 Destination NAT IP 10.13.2.3 Destination IP 172.16.203.144 and in reverse.

Giving all the details for full context.

While i understand there might be some packet loss, resulting in message "TCP Previous Segment was not captured" , but why does it keep repeating in similar fashion across my whole packet capture. Why no SYN or SYN ACK or ACK is ever lost? Also if i capture on source side firewall , or destination side firewall, this message remains constant.

Thanks in advance.
