NEM Host Manager
The NEM Host Manager serves definition of hosts to which the user can connect from the NEM Login Window. It can be launched by clicking on the gearwheel icon on the Login Window. Every FOXMAN-UN client needs to define its own list of hosts. Prior to being able to add hosts in the Host Manager, all desired hosts must be added to the hosts file of the corresponding client machine. On Linux systems the host file named “hosts” resides under /etc and on Windows systems under C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\
[nemadmin@vm190 ~]$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
172.20.162.190 vm190 vm190.localdomain
172.20.162.191 vm191 vm191.localdomain

Please note: 
If a DNS Server is configured for the respective system, the hosts file must not be adapted.
