The Hosts file is c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\Hosts (with no extention).
In XP,one common problem is to open the Hosts file in Notepad and save it as a Text file (which puts the .txt extention on it, which means that its not used as the Hosts file by the System. In Vista/Win7, any changes you make, via DXBase, are not stored in the real Hosts file but in the virtualStore area. I have found using Notepad is the only way to do this under Vista/Win7 Neal On Sat, May 7, 2011 at 3:50 PM, Dave Gmail <[email protected]> wrote: > > > The path dxbase is using for the hosts file, is it the same as the hosts > you > are manually editing???
