Fooling servers?

[Russ]

Hi,

Is is it possible to fool a machine on my network in to thinking it is on
the internet? I have a server which I can reach from my test machine by
entering http://work but I need to access it using http://www.mysite.com for
testing purposes.

If it's possible, how do I prevent my test machine accessing the real
http://www.mysite.com which is also available from my network?

Thanks,
Russ

Put an entry in your Hosts file for www.mysite.com and point it to the
internal IP address.

try flush your dns cache - from a command line run: ipconfig /flushdns
