The language used by ethereal, is quite simple when you get the hang of it.

eg... 

(ip.src == 192.168.11.99 and tcp.port == 5900) and tcp.flags.ack
Gives me a nice bunch of VNC packets
(may wrap)

11 3.789846    WTBDC0                Goldfinger       TCP      5900 > 1632
[PSH, ACK] Seq=6595480 Ack=3964997106 Win=8358 Len=4
     12 3.790574    WTBDC0                Goldfinger       TCP      5900 >
1632 [PSH, ACK] Seq=6595484 Ack=3964997106 Win=8358 Len=18
     13 3.791858    WTBDC0                Goldfinger       TCP      5900 >
1632 [PSH, ACK] Seq=6595502 Ack=3964997106 Win=8358 Len=222


The ethereal web site has loads of info on this, and I know I have mentioned
it earlier but the GUI tool is much easier to get the hang of as it comes
with a filter expression builder.
