Robert-
The problem remains. Here's what I did and answers to your questions:
1. The "hosts" file regenerates itself after I rename it & log off/log back
on again; it still exists on my PC.
2. Installed XP support tools. Ran cmd prompt. Re-ran the two sep. cmds.
After entering the 2nd cmd, ("ipseccmd show filters") I get " 'ipseccmd' is
not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch
file".
3. The only thing I saw in SPYBOT was an explanation as to what the "hosts"
file does in the help file. I saw no configuration settings, etc pertaining
to "hosts" file.
Recommendations or ideas?
Thank you,
Harry
