I am running Windows 7 in a Parallels Desktop 6 on Mac.
On the mac, I use /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 mysite
and it works fine; I can type mysite in the URL box and the website will display.
What I want to do is be able to reproduce the same on Win7 with IE8, for example.
Another guy on Server Fault has done it successfully, here but I can't.
On Mac, I've done this:
ifconfig -a
vnic0 10.211.55.2
On Windows 7, I tried this
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
10.211.55.2 mysite
What am I missing?
@JdeBP thanks for the flag WRT the OP needing to accept an answer, but there's nothing the mod team can do. We cannot force an accepted answers - ever. The only way this question will get an accept is if the user registers on both SF and SU, and links their accounts, to get ownership of the question back and then they can accept an answer themselves. – DMA57361 – 2011-06-29T11:17:28.367
I suggested help, to a new user who had posted an acceptance as another answer, rather than force. – JdeBP – 2011-06-29T12:05:37.317
