[Ethereal-users] What am I doing wrong?

["Berry, Richard" <BerryR@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi.

 

Using Ethereal 0.9.6 to capture some multicast traffic. As I was working with the display filter, I built the filter:

 

ip.addr >= 224.0.0.1 and ip.addr < 255.255.255.255

 

However, packets containing a destination of 255.255.255.255 from a valid machine still passed the filter. I tried several things, including

 

ip.addr >= 224.0.0.1 and ip.addr != 255.255.255.255

 

which didn't work either. Ultimately this worked:

 

ip.addr >=224.0.0.1 and !ip.addr == 255.255.255.255

 

What am I missing?
