hosts file location issue

0

I used to be able to use a hosts file in: C:\Users\myUserID\AppData\Roaming\Wireshark

I just installed 1.10.0 in my Windows 7 32-bit Enterprise system and now Wireshark seems to have this preference:

  1. hosts file in the current profile C:\Users\myUserID\AppData\Roaming\Wireshark\profiles\Analysis (for example)
  2. hosts file in the Wireshark program location

I'm not seeing this change in the Release Notes for 1.10.0

What profile are you using? See "Configuration Profiles..." under the "Edit" menu.

Hi just remove the extension (.txt) of that hosts file .It will work fine. Only At -- 1. hosts file in the current profile C:\Users\myUserID\AppData\Roaming\Wireshark\profiles\Analysis (for example)
