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?
