I cannot enter a filter for tcp port 61883. What is so special about this number?

It seems that all other port numbers (at least the ones that I worked with) are Ok. But, I cannot filter out based on this port number. Why? I tested with version 2.4.5 and 2.2.6.

What exact filter are you attempting to apply?

"tcp.port == 61883". It works with any other port number, but not 61883

61883 appears to be a protocol name also (declared in packet-ieee1722.c) which confuses the filtering engine. We should probably rename it to avoid the collision.

I am not super familiar with the filtering engine. But, does that mean I cannot do that with the compiled Windows version?

Until we fix the code (I will upload a patch very shortly) you can workaround the issue by typing the port number in hexadecimal (tcp.port==0xf1bb).

The collision with the IEC 61883 protocol is now fixed, and the change will be part of Wireshark 2.4.8 and 2.6.2 once released. Thanks for the report.
