The Hosts file that DXB uses...has no extension in Explorer, it will be HOSTS no period bak, or txt etc.
The best way is to use the built in Modify Host File applet that can be found under the File Menu Command This will find or create the correct file for you Can't remember but in 98 it should be Windows/System32/Drivers/Etc I think, been a long time since used that version. ----- Original Message ----- From: "JNMazzoni" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, January 08, 2005 12:56 PM Subject: [Dxbase] DX Clusters/Hosts files I am a new user trying to set up the sytem to allow me to access DX clusters. Here is the situation...... * In the Internet tab the IP Hosts window has one listing/ message " Could not open PKTCMDS.TXT" * In my system (Widow 98) there are eight (8) Hosts files as listed below . Each one contains many > other files. Hosts.sam LMHosts.sam Hosts.001 Hosts.002 LMHosts.002 Hosts.dxb25.bak Hosts.dxb25.bak ..........recent When I look directly at the DX base host file it seems to contain the same files as the ones I have listed above, e.g. excel, explorer, MS Access, MS Backup etc. etc. I couldn't tell what to copy to paste to one of my Hosts files and which of my Hosts file to use. Can anyone help? ______________________________________________________________ Dxbase mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected]
