Just had a quick question on Ethereal usage...

When you are reviewing hundreds of frames, sometimes it is helpful to replace all
the IP Addresses with the user friendly machine name. In "Netmon" you can easily do
this by simply right clicking that IP address and selecting "Edit Address". 
How can we do the same in Ethereal?
I am sure there is some option, but I can't figure it out how to do this
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 ...
