If you are using a win 98 Pc use a host file in you windows directory.


 Create a text file in your windows directory called "hosts" (there may be
one there aready.
 not
 "host.txt"
 just "hosts" and then within that file put the IPs and URLs for the
sites
 that you would like to reach on the Cobalt box.

 Example

xxx.xxx.xx.xx  www.surfus.com
xxx.xxx.xx.xx www.surfus.net

 Start your browser and give it a try.  When you want to reach your site
someone posted something about this about a week ago

search for host or host file
