Usually we have to enter the IP of the server to access it unless it has been defined in our local DNS. One way to avoid having to enter the IP repeatedly is to assign an alias to the server in the hosts file as follows:. The IP corresponds to the location of the server we want to access and myserver is the new alias we want to use. If we now save the file and enter myserver in the address bar, we will be redirected to our remote server. We have learned that by making very simple changes to the hosts file, we can adapt the network traffic to our needs and thus redirect it.
We can also get rid of a network attack or prank by resetting the hosts file to its default settings. This website uses cookies so that we can provide you with the best user experience possible.

Understand the hosts file All operating systems store hosts files on a computer to translate host names into IP addresses. The hosts file contains just a series of lines; By default, the first part contains host names and IP addresses of your local host and computer. This is the part that you will usually be changing to make the changes you want.
The second part contains information about IPv6-capable hosts and you will hardly edit these lines. Students Click Here. That said, be careful, files like these are read-only for a reason and shouldn't be tampered with if you don't know what the effects of the chages you're making might be!

Close Box. Log In Come Join Us! You will see oldName. Press i to go to the insert mode then change it to newName. Similarly to what you did in step 3, change the computer name from oldName to newName.
