Re: hitting apache across home network with hosts file

[Matthew Smith <chedderslam@xxxxxxxxx>]

I understand that.  I am only trying to access the server from the windows 7 machine.

To clarify:

server, 192.168.1.2, running apache

Windows 7 machine, hosts file modified to:

192.168.1.2 mysite_com

Windows 7 machine unable to load http://mysite_com/ in browser.

Only requests from the Windows 7 machine will resolve mysite_com to
192.168.1.2

Any other machine on the network will have to have their hosts file
similarly modified.
