Could you please tell me how I can set a capture filter for MSNMS protocol only? 

Set a filter to capture traffic to and from the port MSNMS is using:

	tcp port 1863

or, on many platforms:

	tcp port msnp
Also is there a limit on how long a capture session can be left on without losing data? Can it be unlimited?
No, because no vendor has yet built a disk that has an unlimited capacity. :-)
The limit is the minimum of the amount of disk space you have available and, on most platforms, 2GB.
