I have added a few entries into the hosts file, but it doesn't get processed

Where is the problem?
Are the entries for local, or for distant, servers? For local servers, you
should use LMHosts (and enable LMHosts lookup). See my article on local name
resolution.

If these are distant servers, are you running the DNS Client service? If so,
remember to run "ipconfig /flushdns" after making changes. And make sure that
your computer is indeed using "...system32\drivers\etc\hosts".
