In the middle section of ethereal expand the application layer "Hypertext Transfer Protocol"

IIRC you only see the domain of the url if your browser is using http1.1 (which 99.999% of browsers do (my guess)) - in all cases you get to see the page that is being requested. If it's 1.1 you should see the domain under the field "HOST" and the page requested under the field "GET" - nb if you're requesting the root page you will just see "/" listed as in "GET / HTTP:1.1"

If you can get two computers hooked together I suggest you set up a web server using something like simple-server from http://www.analogx.com make a really simple web page (just a line of text)and capture the traffic when you load it from the 2nd PC. Analyse it and get familiar with how http traffic looks. Then capture loading a web page from the net and analyse that.

Keep a copy of RFC2616 www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt handy so that you can check out how the traffic SHOULD be behaving (and most probably is).

fwiw I think that spending a LOT of time analysing traffic is one of the best ways to move from networking newbie to having an understanding.
