Hallo,

Well, I just followed the reasoning of Chuck. I didn't dive into the actual workings of this feature. So, YMMV.

Thanks,
Jaap

Hoi Jaap,

I created a hosts file:
192.168.1.1 comp1
192.168.1.4 comp4

I can use filters like:
eth.addr eq comp4
eth.src == comp4

But what is wrong about these filters; they are invalid:
ip.addr eq comp4
ip.src == comp4

Version 1.3.3-SVN-31356 (SVN Rev 31356 from /trunk)

Bedankt
Joke

Hi,

Well, that's not the development version, so it won't work.

Thanks,
Jaap

    Folks,

    If I have my answer I don't know that I do.

    Can I use names for IP addresses in Display Filters using version 1.2.6?
    It does not seem so to me.

    Hi,

    That would probably be with the new development version then.
    What are you using?

    Thanks,
    Jaap

        Folks,

        Please straighten me out on this.

        I have found Display Filter info that tells me stuff like this works:

        Ip.addr == sneezy/24

        I haven't been able to make that work.

        Bottom line, can I use names in IP address specs in display filters
or

        can it only be numbers?
