To quote Dan et al., this has been discussed numerous times in the
archives.

Short answer: if you're on a Windows machine, edit your 'hosts' file and
enter the IP address and full domain name of your site in there. Windows
looks locally for the info before trying DNS resolution, and will find the
server that way.
