Resolve DNS without a Nameserver
OS : Windows 95 User Level : Advanced
You can map a machines IP to any hostname you want by editing the HOSTS file in C:\windows. The File must be called HOSTS with no extension. Be careful not to map an IP to a name that you already use for dial-up networking. EX. Your Computers IP is 123.123.12.3 and you want your computer to be called by myserver.myhost.com. Simply edit the HOSTS file to map like this: 123.123.12.3 - myserver.myhost.com - # my server. Then you can call the server at IP 123.123.12.3 by myserver.myhost.com (ex. http://myserver.myhost.com). Remember you must reboot your computer after you edit this file in order for the changes to take effect.
