Hello,

I am having a bit of a problem with trying to get Wireshark to display
an octet string defined by an SNMP MIB. It is able to decode the data
down to the string message value, however it seems to not be able to
display the string. For example :

-variable-bindings: 1 item

	-WINECOMM::product.1 (1.3.6.1.1.18954.6.1.1):57494C425552204949

		-Value (OctetString): 57494C425552204949

		-[Expert Info (Note/Undecoded): Unresolved value,
Missing MIB]

The octet string should be decoded into the word WILBUR II as defined in
the MIB as an octet string, but Wireshark does not seem to recognize the
format. Does anyone have any ideas? I am using the Version 1.2.2.

Thanks,

MIsraelo
