Host file

# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.

# 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
#    192.168.1.2:81  local.sharepoint.com

Remove the hash symbol in front of the 192.168.. address. The hash symbol denotes a comment which are ignored when windows is parsing your hosts file.

You could have also used host headers to accomplish the same thing.

Are you making up the "local.sharepoint.com" host name, or is that a real host name on your server?
