We upgraded to 5.1.1 on AIX about two months ago.  When we did the upgrade, we
decided to rediscover the map rather than migrate it.

The problem is that almost 50% of the map labels still contain IP addresses
rather than the host name. If I do a display object, the Selection Name, IP
Hostname, and IP Name all match the name found in the local host file and DNS.
I know that name resolution works, because I can ping the host name. I have done
demand polls without errors including verifying the name. In addition, I've
deleted the object and rediscovered it - sometimes getting the correct label,
sometimes not.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? And, is there away to force NetView to
change the labels without having to delete and rediscover?
