Re: Name resolution updates

Thank you for your response
I have only ever used the default profile so I checked what you said. What I probably didn’t mention was that I can see 
some IP addresses that are resolved already but if I edit the hosts file and add in new IP I can see and reload, it is 
these new additions that aren’t resolved. It’s as if the host file I’m editing is not the hosts file that is being read 
from the app.

This might be due to you editing the file(s) in %APPDATA%\Wireshark but using a different Profile other than the 
Default profile.  Check which profile you’re using and be sure to edit the file(s) applicable to that profile or try 
switching to the Default Profile.  Most (all?) configuration files are profile-specific.  The lower-right corner of the 
bottom status bar will indicate the Profile, and if you click it, you can also easily switch profiles too.  You can 
also select the profile from “Edit -> Configuration Profiles…”.

Subject: [Wireshark-users] Name resolution updates

I have a problem with the name resolution that is puzzling me. I do have a “hosts” file that is populated and I also 
use the “ss7pcs” file for Point code resolution, these are both saved in the 
C:\Users\[USERACCOUNT]\AppData\Roaming\Wireshark directory.

The issues that have been observed are:

The hosts resolution works but I’m unable to view updated hosts that have been added to the “hosts” file  even after I 
restart wireshark.
The ss7pcs file is populated but this is not being resolved, I have selected the tab to resolve ss7 PC’s in Preferences 
as is the case with the hosts as well.

I need to add that this is not the case for others in my office and seems to be isolated to my install. I have upgraded 
to the version 2.4.2 on Windows7 and I’ve also tried to remove the whole application and do a re-install.

I’m wondering if anyone has had the same experience and figured out how to get this working?
