Hi.


Just wondering, would it be possible to add an 'Add Expression' button to
the capture filters dialogue box ? There is one available for the display
filters, but not for the capture filters.

By the way, the reason I ask is because I seem to be having some problems
with using the capture filters. I gather that they are supposed to be the
same as tcpdump filters, but when I enter a capture filter like this :

port = 80

or even this

\( port = 80 \)

I get an error message saying that this is an illegal capture filter. What
gives ?

Running Ethereal 0.9.16 on Windows 98SE.




Sincerely,

John Smith
