Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Name resolution updates

I have a problem with the name resolution that is puzzling me. I do have a “hosts” file that is populated and I also use the “ss7pcs” file for Point code resolution, these are both saved in the C:\Users\[USERACCOUNT]\AppData\Roaming\Wireshark directory.

 

The issues that have been observed are:

 

The hosts resolution works but I’m unable to view updated hosts that have been added to the “hosts” file  even after I restart wireshark.

The ss7pcs file is populated but this is not being resolved, I have selected the tab to resolve ss7 PC’s in Preferences as is the case with the hosts as well.

 

I need to add that this is not the case for others in my office and seems to be isolated to my install. I have upgraded to the version 2.4.2 on Windows7 and I’ve also tried to remove the whole application and do a re-install.

 

I’m wondering if anyone has had the same experience and figured out how to get this working?
