I would like to see the names in the packet list in run time. But even after I mention the ip-address & name in "hosts" file under %application data%/wireshark, I dont see the names being shown in wireshark.

The same thing works for mac-address naming?

I tried changing "columns" under preferences from src.address/dst.address --> src/dst address(resolved), still I dont see the names.

Any idea what am I missing?

But for network name resolution, you need a DNS server right?, I dont have any DNS server which can resolve them. I want static mapping of ip-address to name.

Any idea how do I do that?

Add the entries to the hosts file, or add them manually from the packet list.
