Some Advice Please
All you really need to know is that it works. Everything you ever wanted
to know about using a HOSTS file: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm BTW, the little 'Hoster' app mentioned on the page works very well for managing said HOSTS file.

I don't want to know anything specific, it's interesting to monitor an
intelligent discussion of "the advantages and pitfalls" of using a HOSTS file. I use one that may cause problems which I'm not aware of and others may benefit by installing one. I seem to recall seeing programs that can turn a HOSTS on/off, but when would I want to turn it off and when to turn it on? ct siljaline wrote: "ctowers" wrote: Why continue offline?
