You will not get a FrontPage logon without hitting the main page. It is
there you must interact with the server to get the full functionality of FP.
So without DNS working, you are stuck.

Therefore, use a hosts file in their windows directory. (not hosts.txt  just
hosts)

The contents of the hosts file is the IP address a tab character and then
the name ie.:

127.0.0.1    localhost
192.168.1.10    www.whatever.com

With this in place, the browser will get the right IP and the cobalt server
will see the headers.
