IPv6
----
If your operating system includes IPv6 support, ethereal will attempt to
use reverse name resolution capabilities when decoding IPv6 packets. If
you want to turn off name resolution while using ethereal, start ethereal
with the "-n" option. If you would like to compile ethereal without
support for IPv6 name resolution, use the "--disable-ipv6" option with
"./configure". If you compile ethereal without IPv6 name resolution,
you will still be able to decode IPv6 packets, but you'll only see IPv6
addresses, not host names.
use reverse name resolution capabilities when decoding IPv6 packets.
If you want to turn off name resolution while using ethereal, start
ethereal with the "-n" option to turn off all name resolution (including
resolution of MAC addresses and TCP/UDP/SMTP port numbers to names), or
with the "-N mt" option to turn off name resolution for all
network-layer addresses (IPv4, IPv6, IPX).
You can make that the default setting by opening the Preferences dialog
box using the Preferences item in the Edit menu, selecting "Name
resolution", turning off the appropriate name resolution options,
clicking "Save", and clicking "OK".

resolution, use the "--disable-ipv6" option with "./configure". If you
