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

When I do this on XP, the names do appear, but only in the IP-details
on the "Packet Details" pane.
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"?
Cheers,
Sake
