hosts Syntax

hi friends

I need to set the hosts file properly. (  Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
when using "note paid"  to edit this file

This is not working, and it should be, at least I think..

127.0.0.1       localhost

# 47.21.55.154      Woodburyabby

# 47.21.55.154      Woodburyabby2

# 47.21.55.154      TS1

# 47.21.55.154      WoodburyADMIN

I use 1.2.3.4  server  # Description of the server or host.

Descriptions help make sense of the lines a year later when you look at them.

For sure (as noted above) do not comment out the lines with a leading #.
