to an ip manually in there.
The file is in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc and it's called hosts
Just add a line in there such as
192.168.0.5 www.mysite.com <http://www.mysite.com/>
and it should work from your computer. You can do the same thing on other
people's pc's. If this needs to be done on a lot of people's computers,
probably the best bet would be to have an internal DNS server.

Can you use the domain names on other PCs on the network and see the
sites properly?
Here, we're behind a firewall using NAT... port forwarding...
Presently, I cannot use domain names with other PCs on the network.
If I do, I just get the firewall box. But the external world has
access without trouble. (I'm waiting for this to be fixed) I was told
we needed another DNS server to serve internal requests. As I am not
the network admin, I have not resolved this problem.
So, on the webserver here, I cannot access the site by domain name,
even if I'm on the server (the actual box the request comes to)
because of the NAT box.
Just thought I would throw that out there...

Yes I ping the domain from the same machine, and got response.
I ping the external static ip, got response.
I ping the internal ip, got response.
I ping the computer name, got response.
infact I ping outside the network and got response as well.
thanks
