Thanks Script,
I have windows xp and after [NOPARSE]c:\\windows\\system32\\drivers\\etc[/NOPARSE], I don't have "hosts"; I have "services", "networks" and "protocol". So, not sure what to do now.

Create the hosts file in the folder. Its a plain text file. Make sure that when you save it, it has no file extension, e.g., no ".txt" or similar.
This is what I see: [Host Folder]
# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
Where do I add this line? And do I put a # before it?
How do you make it a "plain text file"? I only see 2 options
1) text documents (*.txt)
or
2) All Files

I made the changes and unfortunately ... nothing changed. I still have to wait. :(
