•  CRITICAL NOTE: The IP address of the EtherneTV-NXG server must be made as a 

hostname entry in the DNS server in order for the server to be recognized by 
desktop clients through its domain name (ie: 

), rather than using the IP 

address (ie: http://172.17.6.55).   

•  For test purposes, the MIS Administrator can change the necessary DNS (host) 

entry in the local PC hosts file. Modify the “hosts” file on the local PC to resolve the 
EtherneTV-NXG IP address with 
the actual hostname:   

o  Search for the file named 

“hosts” on the local PC c. 
NOTE:  If there is more 
than one file named 
“hosts” select the file 
located in the 
Windows/System or 
Windows/system32 
folder.   

o  Modify the file by using 

the right mouse button to 
choose the “Open” or 
“Open With” selection to 
use Wordpad or Notepad to make the necessary entry highlighted in boldd.

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows. 
# 
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each 
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should 
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name. 
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one 
# space. 
# 
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual 
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

# For example:

#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server 
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host
