Don't worry if yours HOSTS file is empty. All that's in there by default is samples and the localhost name. Open a command prompt (cmd.exe) and enter:
echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>%windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Then, for other entries you'd like to make, enter:
echo xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx hostname.com>>%windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP of the host)
Note the >> vs. > that you'll want to use to APPEND the file as opposed to overwriting it.
