: Ellie

: http://hoylegames.sierra.com/ seems to be down again. I'm trying to
: find some information on the problem and if/when it will be resolved.

: In the meantime, the following seems to work for most players:

: 1. Open the C:\WINDOWS\32\drivers\etc folder and right click on
: the Hosts file.
: 2. If there is a check mark in the "Read Only" box remove it and then
: click Apply.
: 3. Now double click on the Hosts file.
: 4. When the dialog box opens and asks you what program you want to
: use to open it, select Notepad.
: 5. At the bottom of the file starting in the first column and keeping
: everything on one line enter 8.5.0.53 hoylegames.sierra.com.
: 6. Be sure that there is at least one space between the IP address
: and the host name.
: 7. Close the Hosts file and save it.

: Also, it may be a good idea to start using and passing along the
: following link to use instead:
