Hey there, this will show you how to change it.

1. Go to http://www.whatismyip.com/ and check for your IP. (Let the page open since you need it)


2. Go to : C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

You should see this.

3. Open "Hosts" with notepad.

4. Just like this and save it.

5. Perfect example and result. (The IP is fake, no worries!)

There you go enjoy it.

Hmm since it's on the pc editing the files it's commen sense, but I've added your qoute in the main post, thanks though,

Yeah basicaly you are only creating an alias for that address on the computer you modify the files.

So should you login on another computer, even from the same IP address, you wouldn't see "theOffice", you'd see the real address.

haha, I had no clue this could be done! Thanks :)

mine wont work. keeps saying need admin or something to change it or something. fucking bs.

nvm i got it :P

Good guide :P can have alot of fun with this :)

I sense fun days ahead. Thank you.

I guess this could be usefull if you often record runescape videos and you don't want to have to edit out your IP address everytime you change world while recording.

So instead of seeing you IP address all they could see is 'trolololol.com' or some other crap.

Is this possible on a Macbook? and if so could you please edit a macbook tutorial into your thread?

I would also like to suggest to keep a copy of the original hosts file in case you mess up. I recently saw a similiar tutorial on Sythe and changed my last logged in to JJ :)

seen this exact tut on smokin mils
this is local as mentioned before but is there a way to get ppl to see it from other computers?

Some will use the hostname rather than an IP. Like when I login (much like logging into IRC) It won't say 84.345.292.2 (or w/e). It will say rgen3.blahblah.virginmedia.com for example
