Hello,

(reply to: ee9829@xxxxxxxxx)

I'm monitoring MPLS packets using Etherreal 0.8.10. It seems that Etherreal
cannot read the IP source, destination or port addresses only the source and
destination MAC addresses.

This is fine but I really need to see the destination IP address and/or host
name.  I've tried creating a new column for HW destination address and have
selected 'HW dest addr (resolved) but with no success. I've tried other
options involving address resolving with no success.

I do not know how to correctly resolve MAC addresses to IP addresses or
better still to host names. I've tried adding aliases to /etc/host.conf but
this did not work either.

Can anyone help!
