NOTES:
• 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:
http://vb.loc ), 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.
