Recently there was a thread on the users-list about using the "Resolve Name" option in "View -> Name Resolution". Selecting this option does indeed resolve the names for the currently selected packet, but only lists those names in the "Packet Details" pane and only in the IP-protocol details.
It would be nice if the "Packet List" pane would also be updated so that the newly resolved names are visible there as well. I don't know if this is a bug or works as designed. In case of WAD, would it be much work to change this? If it's a bug, please say so and I'll file a bugzilla report for it :) Cheers, Sake ----- Forwarded message from Sake Blok <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2006 16:46:04 +0200 From: Sake Blok <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Community support list for Wireshark <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Wireshark-users] Arbitrarily labelling src / dst IPs?

However, when I enable "network layer" name resolution and save my preferences and then reload the trace, the names are visible in all the panes. So you do have a way of getting the names on your screen :) Just like you I would've expected that selecting "Resolve Name" would make the names for the currently selected frame visible on all panes. Do we need to file this as a bug or is it "works as designed"?
