how to manually define hosts?

[Redwin 0]

This is what I want to do:

Set up a network name, and assign an IP to it on my computer such that my computer will go to that IP if i attempt to connect to that network name, instead of trying to find it through DNS.

 

Example, test.bob.com most likely does not exist as a registerd DNS, but if i have an IP i want to go to, and i want my computer to go to that IP when i type in test.bob.com, instead of giving me a DNS error, who would I do this under win2k? I know i could do it in Linux, and I think in win98, but can't find an option for manually defining hosts in win2k. I have build 2195.

 

thanks in advance for any help.

I just did a search of my NT directory and I saw a Hosts file in there....
