OpenTransport uses a nonstandard hosts file (surprise, surprise). You have to put it in this form: hostname.domain.com A dotted0.quad0.address0.here0 example, js-adex3.flycast.com A 127.0.0.1 This is reminiscent of a name server file you'd feed Unix named except that there's no TTL field. However, calling it a hosts file is a misnomer because amazingly Windows actually plays fair and uses the same format as Unix hosts would, which AFAIK is where the file originated. -- ----------------------------- personal page: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Point Loma Nazarene University * [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- All things are possible, except skiing through a revolving door. ----------- -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
