Hosts file question
I know mappings in the hosts file are checked before DNS. Is this true even in an Active Directory environment? What about if you use a proxy server definedin your IE settings?
Thanks

I heard that sometimes, when you enter things in the hosts file, it may not work if you have a proxy server. Because the browser is configured to use the proxy server etc..
I wonder if the BYPASS FOR LOCAL ADDRESSES would work in this case?
thanks guys

if you enter 127.0.0.1 game_site_she_is_visiting. com in the host file it should solve your problem. But all you have to do is test it out on your computer to be 100% sure.
Add:
127.0.0.1 game_site_she_is_visiting. com
in the host file of your computer and then try to access the site and see if you can access it or not.

We are looking to place some settings in her hosts file like this
127.0.0.1 game_site_she_is_visiting.
We obviously have access to the C$, so I'm going to try this remotely.
Thanks
