    Hosts file editing

    I have to jump in and say I use, and have used the host file for years. It's an easy way to take stress off of old name servers. I don't add everything, but major shares I do add to the host file. I've used the host file for some tunneling as well. I try to optimize my network as much as possible and I have a solid network. But Easy Rhino is right as well, you'll want to have everything he suggested as well. *Toast :toast:

    OSX has a hosts file yes, unfortunately i dont know its location

    this system sounds ghetto though, hosts/dns entries should be controlled at the router level unless this is for the clients to be able to use it all over the place (not in the same building/internet pipe)

    what are the IE settings for?
