Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] "Follow TCP Stream" feature question

Date: Mon, 8 Dec 2008 17:55:42 +0100
Hi John,

When you select a packet in the Packet List and select Follow TCP Stream
Wireshark will set a display filter based on ip addresses and port numbers.
In de window next to Filter: and you can see the filter, i.e.
(ip.addr eq 192.168.100.5 and ip.addr eq 199.181.12.250) and (tcp.port eq
1042 and tcp.port eq 80)

To see all the conversations in your capturefile go to: Statistics -> Conversations
-> TCP
You can select another conversation by right-clicking and select Apply as
Filter -> Selected -> A <-> B

Thanks
Joan
