Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] SSL decode "can't decrypt pre master secret"

It is the same key I am using to establish the SSL connection to the
server.  By a google search, I saw someone else say that transposing the
IP in the SSL preference helped.  I have tried both and can't get it to
decode.
