Ethereal Users,

Apologies for being the class idiot, but I just can't seem to figure out the
display filter. I've tried this both in the bottom part of the main screen and
in the edit filters window. What is wrong with these attempts?  

It works up to

	ip.addr eq 149.82.78.133 and ip.addr eq 149.82.78.146

The above filter is the default filter that ethereal built when I opened it up.  
The following attempts fail.  Note that I'm trying not to display the nbns
traffic (for starters).


	ip.addr eq 149.82.78.133 and ip.addr eq 149.82.78.146 and ne nbns
	ip.addr eq 149.82.78.133 and ip.addr eq 149.82.78.146 and != nbns
	ip.addr eq 149.82.78.133 and ip.addr eq 149.82.78.146 != nbns
	ip.addr eq 149.82.78.133 and ip.addr eq 149.82.78.146 and != nbns.*
	ip.addr eq 149.82.78.133 and ip.addr eq 149.82.78.146 || !nbns.*


After I define the filter in either place I hit reload and the trace reloads,
but no change in what I see.

I've tried upper case too, but it doesn't appear to be case sensitive.   I've
tried even just ip.addr eq 149.82.78.133 and that didn't work.  

Any advice appreciated. 


Thanks
Gary
