Hi folks, I'm running Ethereal 0.9.15 on Windows 2000 SP2. Ever since 0.9.13, Ethereal hasn't been able to resolve machine names on our LAN. I just now discovered that by disabling MAC name resolution, 0.9.15 begins resolving our LAN names just fine! That's an unexpected interaction. Bug?
Our LAN uses TCP/IP. I think it uses WINS instead of DNS to resolve local machine names, in case that matters. Possibly related: Since 0.9.13, I haven't been able to create display filters such as "ip.addr == www.mit.edu". It complains that the name "is not a valid hostname or IPv4 address". It accepts only dotted-decimal format. I tried various combinations of the name resolution preferences, but no joy. Kirk Hobart
