Your file is the correct format. But you need to put it in C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Application Data\Ethereal\.

 

(And just remember that the hosts file is only loaded when Ethereal starts. If you edit the "hosts" file, you will need to restart Ethereal to have it learn the new name-address mapping)
