No, not true. Internet Security software and firewall products don't care anything about a host file. They allow access based on the .exe file or the IP. So, if you are using an internet software package, you MUST tell it to allow DXB2004.EXE to have access. Otherwise, you will get the symptom you describe. There are no known issues with DXbase 2004 accessing the internet provided your user options are set correctly, you have internet access, and your firewall isn't blocking anything.
