[Xitami] local IP v. domain

[Michael Bronder]

hmmmm.... thanks.

I've done this and rebooted a couple of times... all it does is send me to
my router's config menu.  Granted, this is a file called "Hosts" in the
Windows directory and the file type is "Sample"... there are no other
"hosts" files about though, nor an "windows\system32\drivers\etc directory".

Am I being dense, or is there something else I should try (or both?)

Thanks
