How to Change the Host Table
(Windows 2000/Windows XP)
An IP address is a 32-bit number, usually written as a set of four 8-bit
numbers. For example, 192.100.100.98 is the default IP address of an
expansion box connected by Ethernet.
You can assign one or more alias names to each IP address via the host
table.
To edit the host table
1 Open a DOS window.
2 Change to
%System_ROOT%\system32\drivers\etc.
3 Type
edit hosts
.
4 Modify the host table according to your needs and save the
changes. The file
hosts.sam
can be used as an example of a host
file.
N
Lines beginning with “#” are comments. Multiple aliases for the same
IP address must be separated by a space.
