I tried putting the ip and names in my hosts file under windows xp and ethereal does not appear to be looking there. Maybe I need to change the lookup order but I would think since I do not have a local DNS it would check the file after failing but maybe it is going out the the internet on DNS requests and never looking at the local hosts file, =gerry= ----- Original Message ----- From: "Olaf van der Spek" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Ethereal user support" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, January 26, 2004 1:58 PM Subject: Re: [Ethereal-users] hostname substitued in trace for ip withoutusingDNS
