Interesting. I didn't realize that Wireshark was trying to resolve www.cnn.com
or even why he would??
We use a proxy at this site, http, https, dns, ftp, requests are sent to the
proxy. For example, an an nslookup fails for www.cnn.com but of course IE can
resolve and get there through the proxy.
I just wanted/assumed Wireshark would read the http header for www.cnn.com
and then capture accordingly. That was my goal. Is there a way to do that if I
am using a proxy?
Thanks,

As the message says, "unknown host 'www.cnn.com'"; Wireshark's unable to
find the IP address corresponding to the domain name "www.cnn.com".
Can you get to
http://www.cnn.com/
from your Web browser? If not, then it's probably because the browser
is just as unable to resolve the host name "www.cnn.com" to an IP
address as is Wireshark; if you're using Wireshark to try to debug that
problem, I'd suggest using "port domain" as your capture filter, as, to
debug a problem that's probably a DNS problem, you'd need to capture DNS
traffic.
