How to filter wireshark to see only dns queries that are sent/received from/by the computer

dnspacket-capturewireshark

I am new to wireshark and trying to write simple queries. To see the dns queries that are only sent from my computer or received by my computer, i tried the following:

dns and ip.addr==159.25.78.7

where 159.25.78.7 is my ip address. It looks like i did it when i look at the filter results but i wanted to be sure about that. Does that filter really do what i am trying to find out? I doubted a little bit because in the filter results i also see only 1 other result whose protocol is ICMP and its info says "Destination unreachable (Port unreachable)".

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks

I would go through the packet capture and see if there are any records that I know I should be seeing to validate that the filter is working properly and to assuage any doubts.

That said, please try the following filter and see if you're getting the entries that you think you should be getting:

dns and ip.dst==159.25.78.7 or dns and ip.src==159.57.78.7
