    The value of this property depends on your network software. Changing the value of this property in one instance of InfoConnect affects any instance of InfoConnect (version 6.0 or later) that you run. The file specified by the HostsFile property is expected to follow the following format: <IPv4 or IPv6 address> <host name> For Example: 127.0.0.1 localhost :: localhost The IP address information is not relevant unless the specified host file also happens to be the Windows system hosts file. The host name information is used to populate the Host name/IP Address Drop-down list on the Create New VT Document dialog box.
