What to type in ‘‘Apply a display filter … <'’?

-1

I try to put ''Udp'' and hit enter but it doesn't show anyone's ip address but a list with the same repeated Ip.. How do i solve this?

What exactly you want to see?

You can fill in the Display filter field manually, with something like udp, and press Enter - in this case, you'll see only the UDP packets from your capture.

Or you can go to the middle pane (the dissection one), choose a row like User Datagram Protocol, source ..., right-click on it and choose Apply as Filter -> Selected to obtain the same result.

But if you are interested in something else than just UDP packets, you need to use a different display filter or maybe some statistics function.

So describe your goal, you'll get an advice on how to reach it.

That's all it says when typing ''udp''

Sure it is. It means that the only UDP conversations present in your capture are DNS queries which your Mac is sending to your Technicolor home router and gets responses to them (because your home router acts as a DNS proxy).

But as you can see from the gaps in the packet numbering, there are also other-than-UDP packets in the capture.

So again, what do you want to achieve?

I want to get peoples ip address in my lobby/match

It doesn't seem like it's getting any at all. I type ''udp'' and hit enter nothing comes up

If you talk about lobby/match of an online game, I'd assume that the actual communication between the players:

a) does not use UDP but some other protocol (most likely TCP)

b) does not take place directly between the players' computers but each player's computer talks to the game server which then forwards the messages to other players. So your network traffic contains no packets coming directly from the other playres' IP addresses, nor does their network traffic contain packets coming directly from you.
