Modify an /etc/hosts entry

To modify the information for a host in the /etc/hosts file, modify one or more of the following parameters:

• In the IP Number box, enter the new IP address of the host using conventional "." (dot) notation. The new IP address will not take effect until you reboot the filer.
• In the Official Host Name box, enter the new name of the host. Host names may contain any alphanumeric character.
• In the Aliases box, enter the names of the new aliases, if any, associated with the host. Separate multiple aliases with commas.
• In the Comment box, enter any new comments associated with the host, preceded by the pound sign (#).

Click OK to record the new information and close the dialog box.

Click Revert to erase the new entries and revert back to the previous entries.

Click Cancel to close the dialog box without modifying the information.
