This may have been stated elsewhere in an archive (but I found it difficult
to look through the archives with no search), so in answer to Kris Pratt's
problem with getting a capture filter to work in Win32, the Ethereal
documentation doesn't match reality. Tcpdump doesn't help either. The
documentation says to use periods for the delimiters.
I found that on WIN32 (W98SE) that to get a capture filter to work for a
MAC one must use the following:
"ether host tt:uu:ww:xx:yy:zz" minus the quotation marks. In other words,
use colons, even though Ethereal documentation shows MACs with periods.
"ether" and "host" also both seem to be necessary.
If you don't do this, you get a parsing error for the filter.

zone I don't know).
