Now that I think about it when you configure a host filter with a name, Ethereal will try to resolve the name first and will give you an error if it can not resolve the name. Sorry for the mislead. --- Steve

    You could try to capture it with Ethereal. First in Ethereal select view/name resolution and enable it for network layer which may help as you view your logs. See the link below on how to configure Ethereal capture filters.

    I would start by trying a capture filter with " host computername " . Let it run for a while as you have nothing to lose. Also check your dns host records, wins database, and dhcp leases for the computer name. Trying to ping the computer by name may also be worth a try. --- Steve

      How can I identify the IP address of the Workstation Name listed in Failure Audit events in EventMon? I have installed Ethereal and NetMon. There must be a capture filter that will do the job. (I would prefer a filter for Ethereal if given the choice). Or maybe there is a different way?
