Wireshark portable v.2.4.3, location of the host file

Hi there,

I want to add a hosts-file to my portable Wireshark application on 64 bit Windows Server 2008 SP1 for Enterprise in order to be able to translate traced IP addresses to mnemonic names.

Does anyone know where this file needs to be located ?

I know that the normal, non-portable Wireshark hosts-file is located in C:\Users\<uid>\AppData\Roaming\Wireshark\ the file in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc is not used for Wireshark. None of both deliver results regarding IP resolution for the portable version of Wireshark.

Kind regards, Michael
