When I try to create a filter to monitor a particular source or destination address (e.g., 10.10.10.10).  I get a message "Unable to Parse filter string (parses error) ri 8" when I try to apply the filter and invoke the capture process.  How is the filter string setup for real-time capture suppose
to work?

Also, if I try to stop the capture from the Drop down menu and not the Ethereal: Capture box.  I was unable to stop Ethereal afterwards from either.  If I initially Stop Ethereal from the Ethereal: Capture box it will stop.  Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong.
