ANYBODY NEED A HOSTS FILE OR DOES THE ONE YOU CHANGED NOT WORK?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK This post is for those who have been having problems changing their hosts file and for those who have changed the file but are still having problems.
The first thing you need to do is find the hosts file and make sure that it isn't READ ONLY.
I have created an utable Zip program that will do it all. All you need to do is click on the proper link and when the dialog box comes up click on "Run" and then "UnZip" and the file will be downloaded and put in the proper location. Do not change any of the other information. When you get the message "1 file unzipped successfully" just click on close.
If, when you click on the link and the "Run" option isn't there then save the file to the desktop and then go to the desktop and click on the file.
