	Hi, everybody,
	
	Have tried to use a filter in the format:
	host a and (b or c)
and ethereal "seems" to have accepted the syntax (unlike when I 
tried other formats, like the ones in the man for tcpdump:
	host a and \(b or c\)
which means "escaping" the "("-s,    )
so something tells me that the first version was - somehow - 
correct. Here is my problem, though: for whatever reason the sniffer 
captures ONLY traffic between a AND c, never between a AND b.
	So:
1. Why would that be?
2. Is there any way I can get a AND b, as well as a AND c, even if 
they happen symultaneously (which I don't see why not) - and - if 
yes - what is the correct syntax?

TIA,
Stef
