The soulSeek protocoll dissector "claims" all traffic to and from the
ports 2234 5534 2240 and tries to dissect it. So maybe the other end of
the connection uses one of those ports? Turn off dissection of the
SoulSeek protocol and see what happens.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
