In Ethereal 0.8.18 or later:

	Pop up the "Display Options" dialog box ("Display" menu,
	"Options" item), and then turn the "Enable name resolution"
	option off.  Then click "OK".

	Then pop up the "Preferences" dialog box ("Edit" menu,
	"Preferences" item), click "Save", and click "OK". 

That will write out the current preferences, which, as of 0.8.18,
includes the initial setting of the "do host name lookups" option.

(Or add the line

	name_resolve: FALSE

to your ".ethereal/preferences" file.)
