How do you access a subdomain on localhost with VMWare Fusion on a Mac?

Question

I am able to access localhost on a Mac through Windows XP on VMWare Fusion by using my Mac username like this:

http://username.local:3000/

But how do I do that with a subdomain, something like this:

http://username.subdomain.local:3000/

Any ideas?

I am able to access subdomains on my Mac no problem, by adding things like blog.localhost to /etc/hosts. What is the equivalent on Windows?

Answer 1

Navigate to C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc where the 'hosts' file is located.
