I have just added this feature in the CVS tree.
Log:
Added name resolution in GUI part:
- Capture->Start->"Active name resolution"
Allows the user to turn on/off name resolution
during a live capture.
- Display->Options->"Name resolution"
Turn on/off name resolution for the displayed
data (or during the -S mode).
E.g. clicking on a packet captured with
resolution disabled will resolve names in
the detailed list if this option is set.
And applying or resetting a display filter
allows the update of the packet list as well.
