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 ...
