from man page:
w is linked to uptime and prints the same output as uptime -w
-w Print a summary of the current activity on the system for
each user. This is the default for the w command.
You can't get what you're looking for with 'w'
I'm rather unclear on what it is you did to /etc/hosts, and the exact output you're looking for. If you have in /etc/hosts then one would think you would see the hostname, not the IP address in what you're output would be.
who -R will show you the remote connections, and the tty's, however if the IP address in know, either via, hosts, DNS, etc the actual hostname would be displayed, and only when it's completely unknown would the IP be displayed. Perhaps this is what you're looking for?

domainname
HOSTNAME(1) Linux Programmer's Manual HOSTNAME(1)
NAME
hostname - show or set the system's host name
domainname - show or set the system's NIS/YP domain name
dnsdomainname - show the system's DNS domain name
nisdomainname - show or set system's NIS/YP domain name
ypdomainname - show or set the system's NIS/YP domain name
nodename - show or set the system's DECnet node name
SYNOPSIS
hostname [-v] [-a] [--alias] [-d] [--domain] [-f] [--fqdn] [-i] [--ip-address] [--long] [-s] [--short] [-y] [--yp] [--nis] [-n] [--node]
hostname [-v] [-F filename] [--file filename] [hostname]
domainname [-v] [-F filename] [--file filename] [name]
nodename [-v] [-F filename] [--file filename] [name]
hostname [-v] [-h] [--help] [-V] [--version]
dnsdomainname [-v]
nisdomainname [-v]
ypdomainname [-v]
DESCRIPTION
Hostname is the program that is used to either set or display the current host, domain or node name of the system. These names are used by
many of the networking programs to identify the machine. The domain name is also used by NIS/YP.
GET NAME
When called without any arguments, the program displays the current names:
hostname will print the name of the system as returned by the gethostname(2) function.
domainname, nisdomainname, ypdomainname will print the name of the system as returned by the getdomainname(2) function. This is also known
as the YP/NIS domain name of the system.
nodename will print the DECnet node name of the system as returned by the getnodename(2) function.
dnsdomainname will print the domain part of the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name). The complete FQDN of the system is returned with host-
name --fqdn.
SET NAME
When called with one argument or with the --file option, the commands set the host name, the NIS/YP domain name or the node name.
Note, that only the super-user can change the names.
It is not possible to set the FQDN or the DNS domain name with the dnsdomainname command (see THE FQDN below).
The host name is usually set once at system startup in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 or /etc/init.d/boot (normally by reading the contents of a file
which contains the host name, e.g. /etc/hostname).
THE FQDN
You can't change the FQDN (as returned by hostname --fqdn) or the DNS domain name (as returned by dnsdomainname) with this command. The
FQDN of the system is the name that the resolver(3) returns for the host name.
Technically: The FQDN is the name gethostbyname(2) returns for the host name returned by gethostname(2). The DNS domain name is the part
after the first dot.
Therefore it depends on the configuration (usually in /etc/host.conf) how you can change it. Usually (if the hosts file is parsed before
DNS or NIS) you can change it in /etc/hosts.
OPTIONS
-a, --alias
Display the alias name of the host (if used).
-d, --domain
Display the name of the DNS domain. Don't use the command domainname to get the DNS domain name because it will show the NIS domain
name and not the DNS domain name. Use dnsdomainname instead.
-F, --file filename
Read the host name from the specified file. Comments (lines starting with a `#') are ignored.
-f, --fqdn, --long
Display the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name). A FQDN consists of a short host name and the DNS domain name. Unless you are using
bind or NIS for host lookups you can change the FQDN and the DNS domain name (which is part of the FQDN) in the /etc/hosts file.
-h, --help
Print a usage message and exit.
-i, --ip-address
Display the IP address(es) of the host.
-n, --node
Display the DECnet node name. If a parameter is given (or --file name ) the root can also set a new node name.
-s, --short
Display the short host name. This is the host name cut at the first dot.
-V, --version
Print version information on standard output and exit successfully.
-v, --verbose
Be verbose and tell what's going on.
-y, --yp, --nis
Display the NIS domain name. If a parameter is given (or --file name ) then root can also set a new NIS domain.
