Hi, I am looking for the tethereal capture filter
syntax for capturing multiple ports (2 to 5 ports).
Details follow.

Re:
http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200008/msg00027.html

Re: tethereal -f "(host foo and tcp port X) and (host
bar and tcp port Y)"

The above referenced command does not seem to work for
me (can't capture packets).

See below. 

Thanks.
Tom

With the following two commands, I am able to capture
packets: 

[root@root]# tethereal -f "port 5060" -w test11.cap
Capturing on eth0
70

[root@root]# tethereal -f "(port 5060)" -w test12.cap
Capturing on eth0
36

~~~~

THIS IS THE PROBLEM:

With the following command, I am NOT able to capture
packets: (Note: it says it is capturing but it is
actually not capturing)

[root@root]# tethereal -f "(port 5060) and (port
8688)" -w test13.cap
Capturing on eth0


~~~~~

The following is a syntax error:

[root@root]# tethereal -f "(port 5060)" and "(port
8688)" -w test15.cap
tethereal: Unable to parse capture filter string
(syntax error).


~~~~~~~

MY CONFIG:

[root@root]# tethereal -h
This is GNU tethereal 0.10.10
