I will assume that you are using the unix version. To do this go to Edit > Preference > Columns. Select the source column and select Hw Src address. Then select the destination address and hw dest address. I am not sure how or if this can be done for tethereal.

Hi,
     I am using both ethereal and tethereal and I
want to get the MAC addresses of the nodes. So for
ethereal, I check the "Enable MAC name resolution"
checkbox but still I get IP addresses most of the
time. If I check the details of a conversation, then I
can see the MAC address, but I want the MAC address to
appear in the summary line. Same goes for tethereal. I use the -Nm option to
give me the MAC address but it doesn't happen. What am
I missing? How do I get the MAC addresses? Any
suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
rakesh
