Windows - Providing an alias for an IP address

  1. Locate the Windows hosts file at C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc.
  2. Use Notepad only to open the hosts file.
  3. Create a new line or choose an empty line.
  4. Type the IP address that you want to map with an alias.
  5. Press the Tab key once.
  6. Type the desired alias.
  7. Save your changes.
Open a command line window, ping the alias that you provided before and you'll see a response from the server (given that the server is network accessible).
