I had the hosts file in the c:\windows dir with Win98se, where does it go in
XP Pro?

I put it in the same dir, but it doesn't seem to work there.

In Windows\system32\drivers\etc

If it does not work from there, check to see if you have caught the
QHosts worm, which points away to Windows\Help, where it puts its own
malicious version
