Use host tag to configure your own host name and add that name to host file in windows/system32/drivers/etc/

There aren't many rules that you need to worry about here on the Ranch, but one that we take very seriously regards the use of proper names. Please take a look at the JavaRanch Naming Policy and adjust your display name to match it.

In particular, your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character, and must not be obviously fictitious.

Thanks!

That will, of course, only work for the local computer.
