Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] sec-macof.pcap take ages to load on WireShark 1.4.9 on MacOS Lion

[Marco Zuppone <msz@xxxxxx>]

Hello,

thanks! I found out that excluding the Transport Name Resolution the file loads in half second. Before was taking 5 minutes.
The strange fact is that Wireshark 1.4.9 under XP loads the file in seconds regardless the Transport Name Resolution option.
Thanks.
