Did you read the FAQ on name res? Some good info in there on how it does DNS snooping and stuff. If the names resolve via DNS query - then nTop should be able to resolve them. AFAIK nTop will not do WINS / Netbios lookups.

It works much better then the OPENEXTRA version I had before. The only thing it is not doing is resolving local IP addresses to names. All Windows based machines register with DNS and WINS. I have a few MAC OS X machines that register with DNS but I cannot get all my MAC systems to do it since they go across several VLANS and the static DHCP mapping on my DNS 2k3 server wont assign them an IP if they move from one VLAN to another. (thats another subject - MAC computers register with DNS via DHCP) I have the MAC machines in WINS until I can get the DHCP and VLAN stuff working. I can do a NSLOOKUP from a MAC or a PC using my DNS server and it works. This means the WINS lookup is working. NTOP shows all names that are PTR records in DNS but do not show any that reside in WINS. I have the WINS lookups feature enabled in my DNS server. Is there a way to make NTOP resolve these names?
