Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] finding a missing ICMP Echo Reply

Hi Stuart,

First I should say I am using Wureshark Version 1.8.2 (SVN Rev 44520 from /trunk-1.8).

I took an old capture file with ICMP pings, deleted one reply with frame.number != X and saved.
Then I used the filter below, and the only packet listed was the lone request.

icmp.resp_in seems only to be present in frames that Wireshark can find the response to.
The same for icmp.resp_to in the replies.

!(icmp.resp_in or icmp.resp_to) should be equivalent. The filter suggested by Gerald works for me as well, and I like it more than mine :)

Kind regards,
Martin

Can you try "(icmp.type == 8) && !icmp.resp_in"? That should show any request without a matching response.
