Go to a file called Hosts. It is usually located in \Windows\System32\Drivers\etc. It is a text file. You can edit the text. Unless you have gone in there and set up a lot of values, it will normally read:
 
127.0.0.1 localhost
 
You can cut and paste what you find there to a regular text file, but you should reset it to that value alone to start with.
