Hi all...

Thank You for Your answer's. It is a bad news that DNS did not use hosts
file for name resolution. :(

Yes, I use ISA server for network protection. I place HOSTS file on it - it
work only for PROXY client, but not for FIREWALL clients (this because of
different DNS resolution for PROXY and FIREWALL clients when they work with
ISA).
So I must put HOSTS file on all our workstations :( - It is time for
scripting...
