Re: my traffic not captured

["David Sheats, Friendly Computer Service" <david.sheats () yahoo com>]

Ohhh, I see what I did.  It was a network byte-ordering problem.  I wanted 
it to connect to port 2022 (07e6 hex), but it was switching the bytes around 
such that I was actually connecting to port 58887 (e607 hex).  My eye had 
been skipping right past the captured packets because I assumed they were 
for some other protocol!

Thanks for you the help, Guy and Anne.

(I am relatively new to using email lists such as this- will Anne also get 
this message, or do I have to reply specifically to her email in order for 
her to see it?)
