You'll need to edit your hosts file.
On windows NT/2K/XP/2K3 it's located at %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.
On Linux/*BSD it's located at /etc/hosts

hmmm, there are legit reasons for what you are doing and there are illegit reasons...
editing someone elses host file is not cool. If oyu want to hard assign a name to resolve to a certain address, fine... but dont be screwing with ppls host files...
If you are not, my apologies... just since you didnt state a reason to want to do that... sounds fishy.

thats "no answer" at the computer you are trying to call on port 80.

hey lok i have no idea what you are trying to say, could you elabourate it a bit by Editing your post
In my browser it shows my lan website home page how it happens.
I think it is because it is set your default home page . Check
- Tools-->InterNet Options-->Home Page
[/list]
I tried that link it shows object not found so that i remove books.html ...
Object not found!

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster
