The display filter "tcp.port != 5900" looks for a source or destination port that is not 5900. This will match on almost every packet. Try "tcp.srcport != 5900 && tcp.dstport != 5900"

Hi List! When I play around with a remote machine using VNC, there is a huge load of traffic on TCP port 5900 (the VNC data port). Usually I am not interested in this traffic, but in some other data, so I try to filter out all traffic from/to port 5900. With a capture filter, I am using: "not port 5900" which is doing well at capture time. BUT: when I try to use a display filter "tcp.port != 5900", I would expect the same filtering result, but this doesn't seem to have any effect. No packets are filtered at all (as far as I can see). The display filter syntax "tcp.port <> 5900" will result in a syntax error. IS THIS A BUG?!? Or a feature :-) Or am I missing something?
