NOTES:

•CRITICAL NOTE: The IP address of the EtherneTV-NXG server must be made as a hostname entry in the DNS server in order for the server to be recognized by desktop clients through its domain name (ie: http://vb.loc), rather than using the IP address (ie: http://172.17.6.55).

•For test purposes, the MIS Administrator can change the necessary DNS (host) entry in the local PC hosts file. Modify the “hosts” file on the local PC to resolve the EtherneTV-NXG IP address with

the actual hostname:

oSearch for the file named “hosts” on the local PC c.

NOTE: If there is more	1
than one file named
“hosts” select the file
located in the
Windows/System or
Windows/system32
folder.

oModify the file by using the right mouse button to choose the “Open” or “Open With” selection to

use Wordpad or Notepad to make the necessary entry highlighted in boldd.

#This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.

#This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each

#entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should

#be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.

#The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one

#space.

#Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual

#lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

#For example:

#	102.54.94.97	rhino.acme.com	# source server
#	38.25.63.10	x.acme.com	# x client host
