when i try to filter out my ip ex.  ip.addr != ipaddress  it still shows up.

ip.addr == value is equivalent to ip.src == value || ip.dst == value.
ip.addr != value is equivalent to ip.src != value || ip.dst != value.

ip.addr != value will only match packets whose source and destination addresses are both equal to value, and there are not likely to be any such packets.

Use ! ip.addr == value instead, which is equivalent to ! (ip.src == value || ip.dst == value).
