To configure DNS settings
1. On the client PC, open the hosts file (no extension) in a text editor. In Windows XP, the hosts
file is located in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc . In Linux, the hosts file is located in
/etc
2. For each Application Server and Allégro-1 that the PC will be accessing, add a line of the
form:
AAA.BB.CC.DDHostName.yourDomain.com
where AAA.BBB.CC.DD is the IP address of the Application Server or Allégro-1.
Figure 2-38
3. Save and close the hosts file.

network.
To connect to the Application Server

and click Command Prompt.
b) Type the following:
