Hi Nick

The host file acts as a DNS server in that it assigns names to IP numbers.
When you set up your network each computer was given a name in the sample i
use desk1 thrugh desk6. In the sample both desk1 and desk6 are runnning web
servers. To see the web site on the computer named desk6 type in any of the
following in the address bar of your web browser, the the computer's network
name "desk6", the site name "company.web" or the IP address. Your browser
checks the host file of the computer it is running on befor it gose online.
