Why is the source address column not showing the resolved name?

Hello again,

I have IP name resolution enabled. And the source column shows up the IP-Addres instead of the name. Is there a reason to do so?

I would assume that the IP doesn't resolve. Can you resolve the IP by other methods, e.g. dig?

You are right, I will update the screenshot!

Screenshot has been updated.... And makes more sense now...

FWIW you're running with an old version of npcap:

with Npcap version 0.9983

1.00 is available from their site, it is 15 builds and 14 months newer. Lots have things have been fixed.

I suspect you have the "Src addr (unresolved)" in your column definition instead of "Source Address"?

The packet details doesn't show a resolved name though, hence my comment.

Let me check this....

@grahamb In the packet details, the src is a RFC1918 address and is also not resolved in the dst column. It would indeed be interesting if the packet details don't show a resolved src of 94.142.246.86

@SYN-bit You were absolutely right as we can see in the updated screenshot. I must have manipulated this in the Profile from I have copied it.

Thx

I used it once analyse the different IPs of a GRE Trace.
