Sounds like a dns issue to me...hosts file only works for the computer that it is located on...not other computers.
Eric -----Original Message----- From: Tony Hicks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 09 November 2006 23:36 To: CF-Talk Subject: Does Coldfusion obey Windows Hosts For some reason that my hosting staff hasn't been able to answer, my server cannot pull up the sites on it without the designations being in the windows hosts file. Cold fusion seems unable to cfhttp to my server and I can think of no other reason than its not obeying the hosts file? Is this true? And if so, is there a way to make it obey the file or is there a seperate config file that serves this purpose?
