Hi Tyler,

Thanks for the reply. I typed the port incorrectly .. (that 4 shouldn't have turned up after 6). When I tried the command, wireshark gave me a debug console indicating the arguments that are available for use with it(may be the syntax is incorrect). Here is what I tried:

wireshark -f 'udp port 34678'

tshark gave this output and quit with the above command:

tshark: Capture filters were specified both with "-f" and with additional command-line arguments

Thanks.

However, 346478 is not a valid port number.  Maximum is 65535 (2^16-1).

Regards,
Tyler
