I got up to this part:


I got my host name, but I don't have a domain name- it notes that domain name is optional.
I typed the line directly shown below into my command prompt and added this: \hostname hostname
Is this correct? If not, what is the correct way to enter it?


This is the part I got up to: (This is for Windows Vista OS).


Add a line to the DRIVE_LETTER:\ WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file with the following format, after the localhost line:

IP_address hostname.domainname hostname

where:

IP_address is the non-routable IP address you entered in step 16.

hostname is the name of the computer.

domainname is the name of the domain.

For example:

10.10.10.10 mycomputer.mydomain.com mycomputer

Check the network configuration:

Note:

Domain name is optional.
Open System in the Control Panel, and select the Computer Name tab. In Full computer name, make sure you see the host name and the domain name, for example, sales.us.mycompany.com.

Click Change. In Computer name, you should see the hostname, and in Full computer name, you should see the host name and domain name. Using the previous example, the host name would be sales and the domain would be us.mycompany.com.

Click More. In Primary DNS suffix of this computer, you should see the domain name, for example, us.mycompany.com.
