Thanks,

	I took care of the parser error.  Now though when I do get a capture, all I
see is LLC trafic.

	I am plugged directly into a bay 350T switch with no vlan, it's basically
acting as a hub.  I have a half dozen boxes hanging off of it, as well as
two port connected to routers.  I should be seeing more trafic than this.  I
thought when you put you eth into promiscuous mode that it picked up all
trafic on the same segment?

	I will try doing something like the following and it will generate 0 count

	tcp

	net x.x.x.0

	net x.x.x.0 mask 255.255.255.0

	tcp port 80 and host x.x.x.x



	I appreciate you help, this is not an area that I have spent a lot of time
working on.

After a capture filter syntax error, you need to restart ethereal in order
to
use another capture filter. This is because of a bug in libpcap; it doesn't
reset its internal parser after a failed parse. libpcap version 0.5,
available
from tcpdump.org, fixes this bug.
