Tom,
Hosts works fine here on XP Pro SP3 at
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. However, I had to invert the
order of the IP address and domain from that shown in Darrick's example.
The entire file looks like this:
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

You're barking up the wrong tree for Windows help here, but I believe you want
to add it to your lmhosts file.

Really sorry to spam with OT beginner's networking problems, but adding
doc.astlinux.org to my hosts file seems not to work. Info:
1. File is c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (no file extension)
2. Environment is XP Pro SP3 on Active Directory domain, (currently - snowed
in at home) road warrior with hard-coded DNS servers, being those on our
company LAN, no proxy
3. Tried ipconfig /flushdns
4. Tried turning off the DNS client service
5. Tried rebooting
Anyone come across this?
Apologies
Tom

I'm still waiting for Kristian to get things set with the
domain name, but if you edit your 'hosts' file on your local
computer, you can view the wiki as I have it set up so far.

I will be turning off public registration at some point in
the not so distant future. Until that time, feel free to
register by going to:
http://doc.astlinux.org/start?do=register
Then send me an email so I know to move you into the
appropriate group.
I will be updating the theme and possibly adding some plugins
as needed.
The syntax is pretty straight forward, but if you have
questions about it, look on the http://dokuwiki.org site.
