Open an explorer window, i.e. a file browser. Type this in the location bar:
Code:
\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\
Then take a look at Using the Windows Hosts File, under "Format of Hosts File". What you need is a file that is simply called "hosts". Nothing else. If there is a hosts.sam but no hosts, copy hosts.sam to hosts.

Then right click, and "open with" and choose an editor / notepad / whatever, but not Word.

Add the following two lines at the end of the file:
Code:
69.16.253.67 straightrazorplace.com
69.16.253.67 www.straightrazorplace.com
Mac OS X
A walkthrough: How to edit the hosts file in Mac OS X – Leopard « Decoding the Web

Or open terminal.app and issue the following commands:
Code:
sudo su -
echo "69.16.253.67 straightrazorplace.com www.straightrazorplace.com" >> /private/etc/hosts
dscacheutil -flushcache
Unix
Code:
sudo su -
echo "69.16.253.67 straightrazorplace.com www.straightrazorplace.com" >> /etc/hosts
Now can you explain that in idiot speak?
