Hello:

	Thank you for the latest version of Ethereal.  Version 0.9.13a will no
longer resolve IP addresses displayed to names for machines on the LAN,
though it does for computers on the Internet.  I believe that this used to
work.  I have WinPCap 3.0 installed.  Other than this problem I had no
difficulties with using the 0.9.13a version, although I have not tried it
when the machine is receiving hundreds of packets a second, which is what
would cause version 0.9.9 to fail, while version 0.9.5 worked OK in this
circumstance.

	I use a LMHOSTS file for name resolution, but that has been true for over a
year now when I stopped using DHCP.  My DNS service provider cannot resolve
IP addresses to local names for machines on the LAN.  Programs like tracert
do resolve IP addresses to names, and basically all the programs on my
system are working normally.
