I think you will find that should be

 !(ip.addr == xx.xx.xx.xx)

The two are not equivalent, since in all packets one of the two addresses is not going to be the given address.

 

eg, given the packet:

 

src: 123.4.5.6   dst: 123.7.8.9

 

then ip.addr != 123.4.5.6 will be true, because ip.addr can take the value 123.7.8.9,

and ip.addr != 123.7.8.9 will be true, because ip.addr can take the value 123.4.5.6

 

However with !(ip.addr == 123.4.5.6), ip.addr takes the value 123.4.5.6 and that exists, therefore the filter is false.

Hi,

 

I searched the whole documentation and I can't find how to filter the packets so my ip isn't showing, but all others are...I don't want to see my IP in the captured list. Can you tell me what filter should I put?

 

Thanks
