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.
There's already a Wishlist item for this:
http://wiki.ethereal.com/WishList#head-71481751b5dbe70881096b76745d3e4bc12818ad
It's #17 under GUI related items.
So it seems that there's some interest in this feature, now there just
needs to be someone to implement it... :-)

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 ...
