Sounds like something got goofed up. But... The hosts file that is installed when you install DXB2002 also has a copy placed into the DXB2002 directory. At least all mine have. Use Windows explorer and compare the size of the Host file in DXB2002 directory to the one that SHOULD have been installed in: Windows, System32, Drivers, etc. (etc is the name of the subdirectory under Drivers) You will also notice that the name of the file is Hosts and does NOT have a .txt or any other suffix. If they appear different in size and properties, I would make a copy for safekeeping and then use copy/paste to grab the latest one in the DXB2002 directory and place it in the 'etc' subdirectory.
Under File, Modify Host file, this action ONLY modifies the Host file in the etc subdirectory and NOT the original placed in the DXB2002 directory. At least as far as I can determine. Hope this helps. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frank - ON9CC" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, March 14, 2002 10:58 AM Subject: [DXBase] 2002 and XP > hi group, > > I have installed WinXP and 2002 . > But now my hosts file is (nearly) empty and I can't connect to my internet > dx-cluster. > > When I go to user options and click on the Internet tab, then I get an error > message: > GetLastError : can not find the specific file > > Am I doing something wrong? > Anyone has a tip... ? > > Regarding the hosts file: when I used WinME, I had a hosts file with a > looooooooooong list of internet nodes... is it normal that after a clean > installation of DXBase, that this list doesn't contain any internet > clusters?
