activate changes to hosts file

[Guest bbxrider]

in xp pro, is there any way to activate changes to the hosts other than

rebooting??

googling turned up, something like 'you may have to reboot depending on

windows version'

so even better is there a list somewhere which os's have to be rebooted and

how diff os's can

be activated without updating

No need to reboot, but you may need to disable the DNS Client service.
