1. Add the name & address of your machines to C:\WINDOWS\HOSTS on your
Windows box. It's a normal text file, with no filename extension.
2. Tell Windows the addresses of your ISP's DNS servers:
In the Network Properties dialog, double-click the TCP/IP component
to open the TCP/IP Properties dialog, and go to the DNS Configuration tab.
Check 'Enable DNS', type in your computers host name in the 'Host'
box (you'll get an error message if you leave this blank), then enter your
ISP's two DNS servers in the 'DNS Server Search Order' box.
'OK' your way out, reboot, and you should be in business...
