how can I set up a host file on mac os X so that I can manually point a domain to a specific IP address?
the os version is 10.4.8?

I don't think so. I just searched the whole computer for 'etc' and it found two folders whose contents are just files that say like GMT +11 etc....(some kind of time zone stuff it appears)....nothing regarding a host file that I could see.
edit: I also did a search for host and found a bunch of files that start with 'host' but nothing that resembles a real 'hosts' file

....yes I'm quite aware of the irony that this is a MS KB article for a mac.....
I tried following those instructions and I get stuck on number 2...I don't see a 'domain' menu or a 'security' option anywhere....grrr!
