Ethereal capture filters.

[IBMan]

Hey guys need some help reviewing for my ethereal exam at school, using Ethereal 0.10.8 and have to use this version for the class im in, I need to create a capture filter for the following description

Create a capture filter that will display only packets sent to and received from edge.org at the IP address you recorded

meaning that i have to ping edge.org, grab that IP and stick it in that capture filter...if anyone knows the syntax please let me know, I know the display filters are different than the capture filters, otherwise i could've done this...but since ethereal has to be dumb in some places i dont know...thanks in advance!

does that have anything to do with ethereal?

if you check ethereal's help file they tell you to lookup the syntax for tcpdump....cus thats what ethereal uses to capture the packets
