Mike, I think someone else actually gave you to solution to the host issue. But in case you didn't see it, here ya go:
There is a host file placed in your DXbase folder. This is done as a backup in case something during the installation process fails and doesn't let the software install the host file into the necessary Windows folder. The ".....bak " file you mention is not the host file that is being used... the file you refer to is a .bak ( backup ) file and doesn't relate to the issue you mention. To solve the issue, copy the host file from your DXbase folder into the necessary Windows folder: c:windows\ system32\drivers\etc Regards, Jack ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Kasrich" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, June 10, 2010 10:20 AM Subject: [Dxbase] More hosts questions > Well I have a file called hosts.dxb27.bak I assume this is the hosts > file.
