Hello,

For version 0.9.7, the new features states:

"In order to improve the out-of-box responsiveness of Ethereal and Tethereal, network name resolution has been disabled by default. "

I can't seem to find any documentation on how to enable this feature using tethereal. I know the '-n' option disables it so is there another one that I'm just not seeing to enable it.

As a side note, I am using tethereal only to convert binary pppdump logs to ASCII and not to do any live capture.

Thanks,
Jeff Schultz
