Does the "capture filters" function work in Ethereal? I haven't been able to get it to work yet, it keeps telling me that there is a "parse error". 

The filter I'm trying to apply is: ip.addr == 1.2.3.4

(OK, not that IP adx, but you get the point.
That's not a capture filter, but a display filter. Their syntax is different.
Use 'ip host 1.2.3.4' as the equivalent capture filter. And look at the help on capture & display filters for more info.
