Sure, just disable "Name Resolution" for the "Transport Layer" in the View menu (for temporary effect), or go into the preferences and disabled it in the Name Resolutions section.

Thanks for that Jasper,

Can I use this method on pre captured files which I load back in to view?

No need to worry,

I've just fingered it out. If you change the "View" setting you have to re-load the file.

Thanks

If changing the "View" setting doesn't change what you see without having to reload the file, that's a bug (even if it's complicated to fix); please file a bug about that at the Wireshark Bugzilla.

You have a trillion packets.

You need to see four of them.

Don't have Wireshark?
