NWN Master Server

This is what I see: [Host Folder]
# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
Where do I add this line? And do I put a # before it?

Thanks for the help Script. I created a Miscrosoft Word document called "HOSTS", saved it in the ETC folder and in the body I wrote the info you suggested "0.0.0.0 nwmaster.bioware.com". Then I changed to name to remove the .doc at the end. It didn't speed up my NWN loading time...still have to wait. What did I mess up? Do I need to do a restart?
Thanks again
EDIT: Ahhhh, ok, I got it to work now. I had to change it to a "plain text file". Now it works to skip the wait time on load. Muchas Gracias.

I had the same thing. Just add the line to the bottom and save. The # sign in front of each line tells the computer to ignore that line. By adding the line it gives it something to do.
I had to make sure I had admin rights in order to save the file.
P.S. I was using Windows 7 64 bit.
Dorax Windsmith:
How do you make it a "plain text file"? I only see 2 options
1) text documents (*.txt)
or
2) All Files

Are you creating the file, or editing an existing file? Which application are you using to edit the file?
