Hi Steve, sorry for jumping on the thread. I am on kernel 2.6.27 and there is a big possibility I haven't really understood your command.
You gave
tcpdump -s0 -w <output>.cap host <youripaddress>
I used :-
tcpdump -s0 -w output.cap host 59.95.28.28
(ouput.cap most probably is a file-name and the IP Address is the IP Address being assigned by my provider)
but both for this I get
tcpdump: no suitable device found
Did you try it as root? I tried the same comand as root and non-root. Got the same error as you have got, when run as non-root. Worked when done as root.
