[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1020701, member: 110816"] If you only want to make this change locally for yourself..then open up the Terminal and type: [CODE] sudo vi /etc/hosts [/CODE] Enter your password when prompted. Use the cursor to go to the bottom of the file, hit 'i' for insert mode, enter the text [CODE] xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx domain.name [/CODE] following the other entries there, then hit ESC to get out of insert mode. Now type ":wq". Yes that's, a colon followed by w, q and then ENTER to Write and Quit. You should now be able to do [CODE] ping domain.name [/CODE] and it should go to the IP address you just setup.
