Can you give some examples of capture filters you have tried?

Do you get parse error also when trying some simple capture filters like the following two examples:

tcp

host 10.10.10.120

Please note that the syntax for capture filters is different from display filters:

You are using WinPcap 2.3 so I assume it is not the problem I've had earlier.
