The other way to edit a Hosts file is a little trickier. goto C: Windows>System32>drivers>etc the file your looking for is called Hosts please note it has no suffix. in the folder you may find a file Hosts.dxb27.bak
That was created if you modified via the DXB>File option. In the Hosts file either modify the incorrect listing or create a new listing. You can use Notepad to do this. The tricky part is the Save Host does NOT use a suffix so check the windows directory to make sure Notepad didn't append a .txt or some other suffix to the file. If it did, just rename it without the suffix. good luck On 5/5/11 2:58 PM, Alan Leith wrote: > On returning home from vacation, I tried to connect to my usual cluster and > was told by DXbase 2006 that it could not be done.
