Sorry- YEARS of frustration with stuff that worked for years in UNIX that gets
broken with windows and linux and their applications!

Regardless, neither the capture filter nor the display filter will accept the
inet_addr() or inet_ntoa() alternate input forms such as 10.3. If it is as you
say then there is a bug somewhere.

For example, if one enters the display filter "ip.src == 0xa000003" (which is
10.3) it reports:
"0xa000003" is not a valid hostname or IPv4 address.

Likewise using "ip.src == 10.3" it report:
"10.3" is not a valid hostname or IPv4 address.

Here is a good reference for the functions (inet_aton() is in this):
