Hello,

	I fixed my previous problem of capturing IPX specific packets by doing
a packet byte offset filter:

	'ether[53] = 0x15 and ether[56] = 0x0a' 

	It works really well! Now my last issue (minor one) is wanting to be
able to list names for the IPX network number and ethernet address in the
source field of the display window. 

	I added ethernet addresses to the /etc/ethers file of the capturing
machine. In the source column of the display window I still get:

	4d271134.00a024aad8d5

	I would really like to get:

	engnet.engstation17

	Are there other files I can edit that ethereal goes to for this data? I
would assume /etc/ethers and /etc/networks but I didnt think that those files
dealt with IPX stuff. I am specifcally talking about /etc/networks. Is there
any way to get this translation? Even if I have to make my own tables for
ethernet addresses and IPX network numbers it is fine.

Thanks!
