  Re: The host file format for ports?.. Reply Contact HOSTS file serves as a "local" DNS server. So it follows general DNS rules, and no port mapping is supported. Yes, that's a rough answer, but it is TRUE. I guess you hosted a web site on port 8080 of a server. Why not host it on port 80? If you have other web sites on port 80, it is easy to use host headers to distinguise them.

Reply Contact Thanks for the reply!  My ISP is blocking port 80 so I had to have my NO-IP service configured to re-direct to port 8080. ...and I thought I may have to do the same with the my host file, but found out I didn't need too.
