ip.addr == value is equivalent to ip.src == value || ip.dst == value.
ip.addr != value is equivalent to ip.src != value || ip.dst != value.

ip.addr != value will only match packets whose source and destination
addresses are both equal to value, and there are not likely to be any such
packets.

Use ! ip.addr == value instead, which is equivalent to ! (ip.src == value
|| ip.dst == value).
