Must be bug night for me.  Just noticed this,
In my hosts file, I have the entry:
172.26.12.8     Vincent-1
If I create the filter ip.src == Vincent-1 , ethereal performs the action. 

When i use the filter ip.src == vincent-1, I get a popup with the error:
	"vincent-1" is not a valid hostname or IPv4 address
This is reproducible using various names. It is both annoying and confusing. Could this be made case insensitive? 

Thanks
Kevin
