I am on a cable network and have been using ethereal off and on to monitor
incoming and outgoing connections from my home network.  I noticed that I am
getting a lot of who-has arp requests from the networks router and don't want
to capture or display them.  I have set up a few filters that don't give parse
errors and which are based on the tcpdump expressions, but ethereal still
captures the requests.	How can I get it to stop capturing those requests? 
What's the syntax I should be using?  My filters have been using:

ether proto arp
ether host [host]
ether src [host]
ether dst [host]
arp
ether broadcast

and none of them worked.  Please help.	Thanks.
