On Windows systems,
install a loopback adapter on the single DHCP host that obtains an IP address
from the DHCP server. This assigns a local IP address to your computer.
After installing the
adapter, add a line to the %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file with the following
format, immediately after the localhost line:
IP_address hostname.domainname hostname
Replace IP_address with the local IP address of the loopback adapter.

- Open the Windows Control Panel.
Windows 2003: Select Start > Control Panel
