Within Preferences>Protocols>HTTP do you have the correct ports
listed?  Are you able to filter on tcp.port==8080 alone first before
making it into a compound filter?  If I am remembering correctly,
after installing the virtual 127.0.0.1 from MS, I think  that you need
the correct interface to do the capture.
