Windows XP not reading Hosts file.

Hi guys,

My problem is that windows XP is not reading the Hosts file not matter what I put in it. I have even made a new hosts file with no luck. Any ideas? Thanks!!

It was a bad host file, made one from scratch fixed the problem. Strange, I have used that same host file many a time with no problem, it just would not work this time, but thanks!

Yea - there's not much you can do to have one 'not work' unless it's configured improperly or something.
Glad you got it working though.
Thanx.
