If 192.168.0.2 is also talking to www.example.com at that time, it will show those packets too. As David Miller points out you can tighten it using host 192.168.0.1 and host www.example.com but normally in practice nobody else talks to the host you want, and if they do contaminate your capture, only then do you bother to tighten the capture criteria accordingly. -Andy
