<H2><A NAME="12"></A>3.4. Creating the List of other LAN Hosts(<code>/etc/hosts</code>)</H2>
<p>The final step in configuring the LAN side of the FreeBSD system is
to create a list of the names and TCP/IP addresses of the various
systems that are connected to the Local Area Network. This list is
stored in the '<code>/etc/hosts</code>' file.</p>
<p>The default version of this file has only a single host name
listing in it: the name and address of the loopback device ('lo0').
By networking convention, this device is always named "localhost" and
always has an IP address of 127.0.0.1. (See the interface
configuration example in Section 3.2.)</p>
<p>To edit the <code>/etc/hosts</code> file enter the following command:
<blockquote><code>
<pre>
# ee /etc/hosts
</pre>
</code></blockquote>
</p>
<p>Scroll all the way to the bottom of the file (paying attention to
the comments along the way; there's some good information there!) and
enter (assuming our sample network) the following IP addresses and
host names:
<blockquote><code>
<pre>
192.168.1.1 curly curly.my.domain # FreeBSD System
192.168.1.2 larry larry.my.domain # Windows '95 System
192.168.1.3 moe moe.my.domain # Windows for Workgroups
System
192.168.1.4 shemp shemp.my.domain # Windows NT System
</pre>
</code></blockquote>
</p>
<p>(No changes are needed to the line for the '<code>127.0.0.1
localhost</code>' entry.)</p>
<p>Once you've entered these lines, press the 'Esc' key to invoke the
control menu. Select "leave editor" and be sure to select "save
changes" when prompted.</p>
