hello,
As i am only interested in DNS response packet, i am trying to apply filters
in Ethereal to capture.
I have tried all the below commands. Still not working.

Say:
DNS is at 192.168.1.1
Domain : abc.def.com
My system : 192.168.1.10

I am exuting command nslookup abc.def.com 192.168.1.1

Filters applied
1). port 53 - Etehreal captures only DNS query packets from 192.168.1.10 to
192.168.1.1
2). udp port 53 - Same as above
3). udp src port 53 - Same as above
4). udp dst port 53 - Same as above
5). ip host 192.168.1.1 and udp port 53 - save as above
6). proto domain - Same as above
6). udp src port 53 - No packets captured. (This is what i am excepting.
because DNS response will come from src port 53)

Can anyone of try to run nslookup and tell me how to capture only DNS
response?

Thanks
Vadiraj Kulkarni

I'm not using Windows; I'm running Linux, with libpcap 0.7.2 and the
latest CVS snapshot.

But unless something very odd is happening, I don't see that making a
difference in this case.

If you capture all traffic from and to your DNS server (using the IP
address as a filter), like someone else suggested, how do the DNS
replies look, if you see them?
