Accessing IFD URL from outside the Server Machine

IFD environment..sounds familiar rite..but it really creates panic when it comes to its installation...a whole list of steps and bla bla...Thanks to microsoft for the IFD tool which really has made IFD installation really cool:)...
So now to get an IFD Environment up and running,u just need to install MSCRM4.0 like a normal on-premise MSCRM and then run the tool..Some dns setting needed ofcourse like adding an alias...and adding an alias or host for each organization in case of multiorg scenarios..In this blog basically i would just tell the setting for accessing your MSCRM4.0 through URL from ur base machine or anywhere outside the main server machine..For that just you need to follow following steps:

1.Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
2.Open the hosts file in a notepad
2.Add the key : [IpAddress] [OrgName].[DomainName]

But be very careful guys while you manipulate it because a wrong entry may screw up your machine...
So guys ready to use IFD ....:)
