* Click "Continue" on the UAC prompt
* Click File -> Open
* Browse to "C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc"
* Change the file filter drop down box from "Text Documents (*.txt)" to "All Files (*.*)"
* Select "hosts" and click "Open"
* add the following lines:
your.servers.new.ip www.mydomain.com mydomain.com
* close Notepad. Save when prompted. |
damn that's a good explanation....too bad it prompts me for a password once i try to run it as an administrator and since I never set one, it doesn't work.....
I still don't see why I need to change MY hosts file if i'm switching servers somewhere else.
