Add New Entry to Host File

Go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

1. Edit the host file
2. Add the new entry in the following format

    <IP Address> <URL>
    Eg:
    172.11.11.11 abc.shaamil.lk

3. Save and close the file

4. In the Command prompt type in ipconfig /flushdns
You will get a message as "Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache."

Done.. :)

If you are unable to edit the file in the given location, copy the file somewhere else do the changes and paste it back to the original location.
