Are you using an administrator account on the Vista machine when you try to edit the file?
You should also right click on look at the Properties - make sure Read Only isn't selected.
Which program are you using to try to modify this file? From the program's right click context menu, select run as administrator.
Hi,
Thanks. I am able to access it now by running it as administrator. However when i am trying to access the second machine using http://server1 IE is not able to display the web page. The result of ipconfig/all is:

when i am using http://server1/, its showing me the index page. I am also able to run cgi scripts. However when i modified the httpd file in Apache conf directory Apache server was not running when i restarted the computer. So i have reinstalled Apache and I have not modified httpd.conf file.The host file on other computer is:Quote:
# 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
127.0.0.1 server1
Kindly guide me how to configure Apache for LAN.Quote:
