Statistics / Conversations / Name Resolution
I'm having trouble getting name resolution to work on newer versions of Wireshark.
Versions 2.0.6, 2.0.11, 2.0.16 work fine. Statistics/Conversations/Name Resolution I can toggle the Name Resolution check box on and off during a live capture and it appears to work fine.
These are the versions I'm struggling with, 2.1.1, 2.2.0, 2.2.5, 2.2.10, 2.4.2
The Name Resolution check box, 'unchecks' itself in the following versions listed below.
When I stop the capture, the Name Resolution box can be toggled and it resolves the IP addresses.
Thank you !

The Conversations windows has three boxes at the bottom, Name resolution, Limit to display filter, and Absolute start time. 4. I click on Name resolution, the box has a check it in for about a half a second and then the check box clears itself. For the half a second, names to resolve in the Conversation window, but then only IP addresses when the box automatically unchecks itself. 5. If I stop the ...(more)
I missed that you were referring to the Conversations dialog. Unfortunately the User's Guide isn't very helpful either.
I suspect that checking the box allows a "one-time" run of name resolution for the current hosts in the dialog, but I'd have to check the code to be sure.
