From: Ted on 11 Oct 2005 22:01 ken or tom: how'd i add this to my "HOSTS" file (i've seen it somewhere on this XP PRO equipped pc of mine, but where is it hiding and how'd i go about implementing this). OR for that matter, how'd i "add entries for these names to your DNS servers" which i confess is a term i'm unacquainted with. -ted "Tom Kaminski [MVP]" wrote: > "Ken Schaefer" <kenREMOVE(a)THISadOpenStatic.com> wrote in message > news:exJG0LgzFHA.1252(a)TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl... > > Neither http://localhostnorthwind nor http://www.localhost are defined > > "out > > of the box" in Windows.

That section is very straight-forward and steps you through what you have to do. See the section "Adding Static Clients to the Hosts File": http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=309642 Just add a line for 127.0.0.1 and the name you want to use. -- Tom Kaminski IIS MVP http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/community/centers/iis/ http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ http://www.iistoolshed.com/ - tools, scripts, and utilities for running IIS |
