In your Windows\system32\drivers\etc directory you will find a file called "hosts" below is what it looks like. Use notepad to edit it if need be. This will fix some of the resolving problems some ppl have. Be sure to save the file as a host.txt then rename it to hosts without the .txt extension.

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.

# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
