Presumably when people say "DNS lookups" they really mean "network-layer
address to name lookups"; Ethereal calls "gethostbyaddr()" to do
IPv4-address-to-name lookups, and the OS's implementation of
"gethostbyaddr()" would do the DNS lookup - Ethereal does not control
whether the lookup involves DNS or not (and, as noted in my other
message, the main problem on Windows isn't DNS, it's NBNS).

You can use "-N" to change the options on the command line.
