Wireshark Superusers,

 

I am using the new beta version of wireshark "Version 1.4.0rc2 (SVN Rev 33665 from /trunk-1.4)" on a windows XP laptop with Service Pack 3. 

 

I like and have used the feature to manually resolve the IP addresses to a name that I determine instead of showing the IP address.  Unforutunately, if I use this feature, it does not allow me to change the resolved IP name back to an IP.  I have to close the Wireshark application to get back to seeing IPs again. 

 

Is there a way to change the resolved IP addresses back to unresolved IP addresses without having to shut down the Wireshark application? Also, is there a trick to just manually resolving a single IP address rather than the entire file?

 

Thanks,

 

George

 

PS.  The way that I am resolving the IPs to a host name is as follows

 

    Have the cursor on the IP address that I wish to resolve.

    right click and select "manually Resolve Adress"

    type in the name that I wish the IP to resolve to

    check the "enable network name resolution"

    and click OK
