The  (%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) lets you make google.com point to, for example, 127.0.0.1 on your local machine, but what if I wanted to make, say, 192.168.1.5 point to 127.0.0.1 on my local machine? Is there a way to do that? Can that be done in the hosts file on Windows&nbsp;7?

A sandbox enviroment of a web app is reachable directly by an IP address: http://&lt;my_ip_address&gt; without a login name.  Is there a way to make a virtual host in my local machine, named as &lt;my_ip_address&gt;, and change /etc/hosts so it will "redirect" to my localhost?  127.0.0.1 &lt;my_ip_address&gt;   So when I load the url http://&lt;my_ip_address&gt; the browser will point to my localhost? The way I can already redirect domain names.

So I've set public IP on the hosts file for a certain public IP address, but it picks up private ip from nowhere or from DNS.       Content of windows hosts file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\Hosts             210.210.210.10 my.domain.com     nslookup my.domain.com             10.10.10.10             10.10.10.11             10.10.10.12   I want it to resolve to Public IP i assigned in the file, instead of the private IP it shows when I lookup my.publicdomain.com.   Anyway to fix this? Has anyone experienced such issue? ipconfig /flushdns does not help. Just saying.

I am trying to set a Apache reverse proxy so that requests get proxyed to another application running on 8080. However, I want some directories to be directly served rather than forwarded to proxy. What I want is:   -> http:// localhost:8080/myapp http:// localhost/images -> /var/www/html/images http:// localhost/anything-else -> http:// localhost:8080/myapp/anyhthing-else  My current httpd.conf is   ProxyRequests Off ProxyTimeout 600 ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPass / http:// localhost:8080/ ProxyPassReverse / http:// localhost:8080/ RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/(.*) http:// localhost:8080/VirtualHostBase/http/%{SERVER_NAME}:80/myapp/VirtualHostRoot/$1 [L,P]   What configuration should I do to make the local path exception to work?  Thank you, Tania

I have a VM webserver setup and I have installed and started Apache.  The VM has a bridged network interface and can be pinged from the host using 192.168.0.2.  However, if I type that same IP address into the browser on the host machine, I was expecting to see the default apache page generated on the VM, but instead, I get can't connect to 192.168.0.2 in the host machines browser.  I've clearly missed something out.  Anyone know what I have missed or done wrong?  Output from VM netstat -tnlp  tcp     0     0 0.0.0.0:22        0.0.0.0:*     LISTEN     950/sshd tcp     0     0 127.0.0.1:25      0.0.0.0:*     LISTEN    1026/master tcp     0     0 :::22                  :::*     LISTEN     904/sshd tcp     0     0 ::1:25                 :::*     LISTEN     980/master   Rough drawing of what I'm thinking the network activity/connectivity would look like.  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Is there a command line based way to send pings to each computer in a subnet? Like  for(int i = 1; i &lt; 254; i++)     ping(192.168.1.i);   to enforce arp resolution?

I'm new to Linux (currently running Ubuntu 10.04) and I have just finished setting up SSH access to my Linux Machine.  Currently, I have to use ssh root@x.x.x.x to connect but would much rather be able to swap the IP for the computer name (like in Windows with \\name) or a domain name (like computername.example.com). I don't really know where to start so any help would be most appreciated.  Please go slowly, as mentioned - I am still new to this.  EDIT 1 Completely forgot to mention that I am trying to connect from Windows 7 (via PuTTY) - sorry.

if I set x.domain.com and y.domain.com to the same ip address, Does it mean Nginx couldn't tell the differences between x.domain.com and y.domain.com?  Is it impossible to map x.domain.com and y.domain in the server directive in the server context to the different folder?  I also want to learn more about how the computer network work? Anyone could give me some resources?

I have a small home network that just got larger (new roommate, my existing roommate got a laptop (on top of her computer), my friends coming over with laptops, etc.).    I'd like to run a local DNS server for lookups of my local network stuff (fileserver.local, windowsTV.local, machineA.local, machineB.local, appletv.local).   I used to have a business line with a static IP, and run bind/named internally.   However, now I have a normal account.  My ISP's DNS servers are constantly changing (for whatever reasons my ISP doesn't like to keep the same IP range for long).  I need my local DNS to be automatically updated to use my ISP's DNS for external traffic, but be able to maintain an internal DNS server (getting to update the hosts file is being a hassle with every new machine on top of rebuilding existing machines with win7 or Ubuntu 9.04).  Additionally, My ISP's DNS servers often crash or become unresponsive.  Are there any open DNS servers that are reliable (I don't want to reconfig every day) that I could use as my primary, then if those fail, then use my ISP's?  UPDATE:  Also looking for each workstation to be able to use dhcp to connect, but instead of getting ISP DNS servers, getting my internal one....

I've a small home network up and running and managed to set up ssh. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to refer to one computer on the network from another by host name rather than IP address (which is what I'm doing now)?

I am trying to see if I can have a specific Hosts file that only a Proxy Server application on my machine will use while the remainder of the machine uses the normal proxy server.  For example, I want to take (and this is JUST AN EXAMPLE) www.cnn.com and map it to 127.0.0.1. However, I only want this to happen when connected to a proxy server application running on my machine.  Then I would configure Firefox to use the Proxy Server while IE doesn't use the Proxy server.  Could I use something like Fiddler, Charles, or some other Proxy/Debugger and have only that application use a custom Hosts file?  Why? This allows me to compare the live web site with what I have developed locally. Trust me, I need the host name mapping for a reason. I'm using HTML from the live site with local CSS changes. I need to compare those CSS changes to what is in Production environment.

I cannot find the proxy settings anywhere. Do I have to set it through terminal, through gconftools or is there some GUI present for it?

How do I change proxy settings from command line in Windows&nbsp;7?  I'm not talking about just the http_proxy. I need to set system-wide proxy settings (the ones in Internet properties setting). How do I do that?

How do you change your hostname in Windows 7? Not the computer name, but the hostname.

Using cmd and ping on Windows gave me the following results:   Pinging "localhost":       Pinging "192.168.0.10" (local IP address):     Aren't both situations exactly the same?   I mean, I'm pinging the same interface, the same machine and the same address. Why do I get such different results?  EDIT: Here is my ipconfig /all screen:

I have web site being hosted on my computer, so that mysite.com is served from one of my machines. However, even though everyone else can access this site normally, if I type its name (or, indeed, any subdomain such as x.mysite.com), I can't get the site to show. Now, if I edit the hosts file to redirect mysite.com to 192.168.1.5, everything is fine.  However, this is not a viable solution because then I need to edit the hosts file on every machine on the network. So, my question: is there an easier way?

I can't overwrite my hosts file in Windows 7.  I open Notepad as an administrator and open the hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc) as an administrator.  96.44.181.245 www.Google.com   has been put in there along with a host of others. Whenever I remove it and try to overwrite the file, it will not let me. It says access denied even though I am doing it as an administrator.  Any ideas?

I have IIS7 on my computer, and I can access it through other computers in my house on the same network through my computer's IP address - 192.168.1.10x  Instead of typing in http : //192.168.1.10x/ I want to be able to go to http : //somename/  I know you can change the hosts file to add it but I'd have to do that on each computer and I'd still have to type in the IP to access it from my iPod/Wii... etc.
