Keep in mind that variations like www.microsoft.com and microsoft.com
aren??™t necessarily the same server, and represent different DNS entries.
You??™ll need to add a separate hosts entry for each variation if you want
to access them all, like this:
207.46.230.218 www.microsoft.com
207.46.230.218 microsoft.com
Using this syntax, add an entry for each domain you wish to hardcode
into Windows??™ DNS table. Note that these addresses affect your
machine only; other machines, such as those in your workgroup or others
on the Internet, will not be affected.
5. You may also see some lines that begin with the # character. These are
comments, and they are ignored by Windows.
6. Save the hosts file when you??™re done. The change should take effect
immediately.
Secure Your Networked PC
Security is a very real concern for any computer connected to a network or
the Internet. There are three main categories of security threats:
A deliberate, targeted attack through your Internet connection
Ironically, this is the type of attack most people fear, but realistically,
it??™s the least likely to occur, at least where home and small-office networks
are concerned. It??™s possible for a so-called hacker to obtain access
to your computer, either through your Internet connection or from
another computer on your local network; it??™s just not terribly likely that
such a hacker will bother.
Of course, the same is not true when it comes to wireless
networks.
