Windows 2003 not resolving names in the Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file

[Guest sarloc3@gmail.com]

Hello,

 

I am having a problem with a Windows 2003 server install that is not

resolving names that are in the windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

file. I had this type of problem on a differnet system and replaced

the hosts file. That solved that issue, but not in this case.

 

Please help.

 

Thanks,

 

Carmen

The only thing that I can think of is that you have a .txt extension on the

file and it is not really a hosts file, or that you do not have the entries

configured correcly. Does it look like a notepad file or a windows icon?

 

Thanks
