For Windows NT systems, the Internet addresses and system names of computers on
the network are maintained in the
hosts or lmhosts file.
If your network is managed by a domain name server, the
hosts file should not be edited
locally, as it is maintained and distributed by the domain name server. If you are not
using a domain name server, this file can be edited on the boot server. In the
hosts file,
find the Internet address and system name of the computer you have selected as your
boot server. Figure 2–1 shows a sample UNIX
/etc/hosts file in which the boot server has
an Internet address of
192.168.45.1 and a system name of bootmaster.

# This is the master Internet address file for XYZ Corporation.
# If you need an address, check here first to make sure it is not
# being used. If it is not, add the address, the system name for the
# device, and the owner. You can then export this file to your device
# if it is appropriate.
