Well, is it possible Ethereal will add this feature.  I really think the way Netmon does is quite convenient. it is not a good experience when you view trace in ethereal and then swith to notepad to add one extra entry to make the current view more friendly.

Ethereal usually uses name resolution for this (you did enabled this,
don't you?).

If that doesn't work (because the IP address is unknown to the DNS
server), you can adjust the system hosts file in e.g.
c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts or add a hosts file to your personal
configuration folder (see Help/About/Folders to see where that is).

There's no way to edit this in the GUI ...
