>I looked at the hosts file and yes.....it had bad info.

ah, yes, a sinister little file that we hardly even touch and often 
forget about, even if we knew about it.  I bet  you'll be ok now.

It does have its uses however, which are, hhmm, most useful to understand.

Such as the fellow in here last week who was trying to test Imail on 
his LAN without yet a DNS to work with.  By setting up all his 
machines'  hosts files to resolve Imail's host/ip, he should have 
been able to test Imail.

Or, when you have a www server that you don't want to put in DNS.
