I am trying to access a web site via a different IP address than the
normal web site sits on. I have been told (by the owners of the the web
site) to add an IP address to my host file which resolve to the domain
name. So I edited the /etc/host file as follows
1.1.1.1 thesite.co.uk (all fictitious, just an example)
I then saved it and restarted the networking. I then tested the access
to the web site and while I could access the web site I am unable to
access the bit of the web site that I need to access which the above mod
to the host file should of let me access. How can I check that the web
browser is accessing the web site via the changes I made in the host
file and not using the old settings?
