Hi,
   How do I capture packets for a particular protocol on a non standard port.
What I mean is I have a webserver running on port 8001 instead of 80. When I capture packets all HTTP traffic to and from that webserver from my machine (where ethereal is running) is being treated as TCP packets and not HTTP as webserver is not listening on port 80. So those packets are not decoded as HTTP packets. What do I need to do for ethereal to treat HTTP packets to and from port other that port 80 as HTTP and not just TCP.
This can be for any other standard protocol also.
Thanks
Sudipta
