All,
 
Does anyone have an opinion on this?
 
When installing Ethereal the default name resolve parameters are on. This is fine for individuals who are tracing and analyzing their own network. But when moving from site to site or when analyzing traces from other locations then if you forget to turn off the resolve name options then the trace takes forever to load as Ethereal attempts to resolve each network/node address.
 
I would propose that we turn the name resolve off by default.
