You are typing the final // yes?
What about if you add the etc bit on the end (but not the hosts bit), does that do anything?

:miffed:

Okay, do this:

Go into My Computer > C > Windows > System32.

Right click and select New > Folder

Type in "drivers" (without quotes).

Press enter/return key.

If that works we can continue, if you get an error tell me what it says.

Okay, look for that folder and double click on it.

Does it have anything inside? (Check the status bar... View>Status Bar if it's not already on.)


Oh, and what version of Windows are you using?

Hmm, okay. Odd. But try this:

Create an etc folder inside drivers.
Create a file called hosts.txt inside etc.
Open the file in Notepad, paste the stuff above into it, then save & close.
Rename the file to hosts (without any extension).

Win Me is weird though... a hybrid between 98 and XP, so it might not be there because it doesn't work.

Um, try going to one of the places and you should get an error.

If you want to make sure it works, add "127.0.0.1 bpsite.co.uk" (without quotes) to the end of the list, restart your browser and these forums wont appear. Remove it from the list and restart your browser and it'll come back again. Hopefully. :unsure:

You need to completely restart your browser, or possibly the whole system?
