On NT you shouldn't need to reboot to take advantage of changes to Hosts
(I never have had to). If you are on another Windows platform (such as
2000) look for a file named hosts.sam. On older windows there are
actually more than one "hosts" file, and we've never been able to
establish exactly which one you need to change (we just change them all),
and they do require a reboot more often than not.
