The Resolved Addresses window shows the list of resolved addresses and their host names. Users can choose the Hosts field to display IPv4 and IPv6 addresses only. In this case, the dialog displays host names for each IP address in a capture file with a known host. This host is typically taken from DNS answers in a capture file. In case of an unknown host name, users can populate it based on a reverse DNS lookup. To do so, follow these steps:
-
Enable
Resolve Network Addressesin the → menu as this option is disabled by default. -
