Hello,

	Can anyone tell me how to setup capture filters to only pickup IPX/NCP
packets? Here is detail of the packets I wish to capture. I dont care about ipx
or ethernet src and dest as I want to capture all of said packets within the
collision domain. I tried looking at the man pages and source for tcpdump and
libpcap but there is little or no IPX filter tags that I could find reference
to. From looking at raw captures of all packets it looks like I want to capture
all IPX/NCP packets with a ncp function code of 0x15. Any help in building a
capture filter (so I dont capture all IP/IPX packets and stuff my disk) would
be very much appreciated!

Thanks,

Jeff
