I am using XP home SP2(NT5). When using NT4 I would store network ip
numbers in 'hosts'. I have windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file with
ip addresses for my network of systems. I am using 192.168.20.xxx.
part of hosts file is as follows.
192.168.20.200 franks.sss.org franks
192.168.20.201 bills.sss.org bills
run ipconfig, it produces following info
ping franks produces
Ping statistics for 169.254.xxx.xxx
however my system "franks" is 12.64.xxx.xxx when logged into isp
and 127.0.0.1 when not.
This worked fine on NT4. What am I doing wrong.
