 +<code>
 +# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
 +#
 +# 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

 If the Windward server should be located at network address 192.168.1.100 but a ping test shows it at a different IP address on the network then the network should be checked by an IT professional.  As an interim solution each workstation's hosts file may be updated using Windows Notepad.  A new line can be added as shown in Example 1 where the IP address is matched with the server name called testserver.  A ping test to the testserver should show the IP address as specified in the hosts file. If the Windward server should be located at network address 192.168.1.100 but a ping test shows it at a different IP address on the network then the network should be checked by an IT professional.  As an interim solution each workstation's hosts file may be updated using Windows Notepad.  A new line can be added as shown in Example 1 where the IP address is matched with the server name called testserver.  A ping test to the testserver should show the IP address as specified in the hosts file.
