Since 0.9.13, Ethereal won't resolve any machine names on our LAN. It
resolves external names such as google.com just fine. Maybe that's because
we use WINS instead of DNS for internal names. I'm running Windows 2000.

Can Ethereal read some sort of hosts file to assist IP name resolution? I'd
be happy to create one. It seems to ignore my Windows hosts file.

Yes I have selected "enable network name resolution".
