           Summary: Tshark capture filter does not work when IP is of APIPA
                    type (169.254)
           Product: Wireshark
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Low
         Component: TShark
        AssignedTo: wireshark-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: ioannis_k@xxxxxxxxxxx


Build Information:
Windows XP SP3, Wireshark 1.0.2 or 1.0.3 or 1.0.5 always with Winpcap 4.0.2.

I tried to capture from an Interface with an IP address of type 169.254 using
tshark with the following command:

tshark -i4 -a filesize:100 -b files:1000 -f "tcp port 80" -w tracetest.pcap

The result is that Tshark doesn't capture anything. When I do not use the
capture filter for that interface, I capture all the packets on the wire. 

At the same PC there are more interfaces and one of them has ip address
10.3.xxx.xxx and the same command (except that the -i4 is -i2 for example)
works without any problem.

I know that it is weird to have an interface set to 169.254 ... believe me it
was not my choice :-)

Thanks in advance for your help.

regards,
Yiannis
