Ethereal-users: [Ethereal-users] Slow performance with resolving network names - Suggestions/Que
Hello,
I have just started using Ethereal on Windows 2000. As you probably know, because I am using Windows, I have a problem with very slow resolving of "network names". Sometimes it can take 15 minutes to resolve names with just a few minutes of captured data. As a result, I unchecked "resolve network names" and now enjoy great performance. However, dealing with just IP and MAC addresses is sometimes a pain.
Does anyone know if some of the following features could be added (to offset windows' poor resolving performance):
1) Right click on an entry in the captured data, "Resolve this name" ?
2) A button or menu option to "Resolve all names in the display window" ? (after filtering)
3) An address list that can be saved to a file (like Microsoft's NetMon), to be used on captures if desired?
PS: I have read the mailing lists and know why Windows has poor performance with NETBIOS name resolves. Unfortunately there is very little I or anyone can do about it. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
