Title: capture filters

 Hi all,

    I'm new to Ethereal and have been trying to use it to diagnose network problems.  I've gotten the display filters down I think but can't figure out how to get the capture filters to work.  I'm now convinced the filter format is different from the display filter set.

    I haven't found any good documentation on the capture filter.

    Can someone tell me how it should be formatted for example to capture data to and from a specific IP address, and maybe to or from a specific subnet?

   Any help would be appreciated.

 J~
