Edit your Host or Hosts file using Notepad. On most Windows computers, Notepad is in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc folder. Note: On some computers, you find the file in the C:\WinNT\system32\drivers\etc folder. The file is named Hosts, with no filename extension. If your computer has no Hosts file, start Notepad with a blank file.
Windows 7 Users: To edit the host file, choose Start, search for “Notepad," right-click, and select Run as Administrator. Now, open the host file from the File menu, edit, and save. Add this line as the first line in the file: [IP] hostname.scene7.com. Do not change any of the other lines in this file (if any). Save it, making sure that it does not save with a .TXT filename extension. To do it from Notepad, choose File > Save As, set Save As File Type to All files. Then, ensure that the filename is Hosts and save it.
The changes should take effect immediately. If not, restart your computer, then test it out. Note: if you want to avoid restarting, do the following: Choose Start > Run and type CMD, then click OK to open a Command Window
