Ethereal 0.9.12 ran fine on my Win2k and WinXP machines. Today I installed
0.9.13, and lost my local network hostname resolution. It now displays
"10.0.6.4" instead of "bobs_laptop". Outside addresses such as yahoo.com
still resolve fine (and much faster than before). My wild guess is that
0.9.13 now relies on DNS, but our LAN uses WINS. Does that sound plausible,
or did I simply miss some new preference setting?
