    Check the link below. It's for Ubuntu but basically, you would need to edit the /etc/hosts file from the terminal. If you don't have gedit as a text editor, you would need to replace that part of the line with whatever text editor you have to access the file, prefixed with sudo:

    I haven't tried this myself so make a note of the change so that you can undo if it fails.
