Hi,

I'm having problems with some trace files opening really long. I noticed, that
the problem dissapears, when I turn off DNS name resolution (there are many
different hosts in the trace). However, I'd still like to see hostnames I have
defined in hosts file. Is there any way to configure ONLY Wireshark to use only
hosts file to resolve DNS names (in Wireshark itself, or in Windows DNS client
settings?)? 

Cheers!
Miron
