Re: My Hosts File ignored - win2003 PLEASE HELP

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

In news:OBGpw1VwFHA.3312@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Ian <gruntyonline@xxxxxxxxxxx> made this post, which I then commented about
below:
> just wanted to check:
> "1. the extension of the hosts file - was OK"
>
> Did it have an extension? (if it has any kind of icon in windows then
> it has an extension)

Also, Tiraman, to add to Ian's question, what are your view options set in
your Folder Options? You could be hiding the fact it may be set to hidden.
If hidden, you will not see if it is a text file instead of a file with no
extension (as it should be).

Also, what does ipconfig /displaydns show? Can you post that for us please?
