Title: Message
I have a problem where Ethereal collects packets fine but then hangs whilst decoding packets. Whilst Ethereal is hung from a user perspective, it is actually consuming 100% cpu time and continually doing DOMAIN NAME lookups (and flooding our WAN link). This problem happens when "Enable MAC  name resolution" and "Enable network name resolution" are both turned on.  Everything works fine if I turn either one of these off. The problem only occurs when both are turned on.
 
This is running on Windows XP Professional with SP1 and WinPcap V3.0 or V2.3. I cannot reproduce this problem with Ethereal v0.9.12. This problem first started in V0.9.13 and still exists in V0.9.14.
 
Is this a known problem? I can provide more details but first wanted to know if this was a known problem.
 
Thanks,
Geoff..
