Adding to host table in XP?

That Guy · 05-13-2003, 02:35 PM

Anyone know how to add to the host table in XP? It's fairly easy in *nix, but I'm drawing a blank on how to enable my PC to communicate with my Linux box via hostname lookup.

Any help is appreciated.

Add it to the hosts file in %windir%\system32\drivers\etc

Retarded location, I agree.
