    Post Skipping DNS

    I remember a few years ago hearing that you could put the IP addresses for a site in a file and by doing that IE would look to the file first before DNS.

    Anyone know how to do this?
    How would I find the IP address for a site? Would i use tracert?


    Thanx in advance

    Well looks like your talking about a hosts file to me.

    First of all you can find out a ip address of a site by pinging it. Ex. Ping <a href="http://www.yahoo.com" target="_blank">www.yahoo.com</a>

    Second thing is depending on what O/S your running you may have a file called HOSTS. Do a search for it and open it in Wordpad.

    This file maps IP address to host names. ex. yahoo.com

    I hope this answers your question.
