Our Intranet Sites are controlled through hosts file (we do not have an
internal dns server and management decided to use hosts as a temporary
solution until a dns server is installed, at a later date)
I have been switching the contents of the hosts file i.e. (the ip address
are example addresses only)
111.111.111.001 MyWeb
111.111.111.002 MyTest
or
111.111.111.111 MyWeb
111.111.111.112 MyTest
or
111.111.111.221 MyWeb
111.111.111.222 MyTest
Worked until for a couple of days then it stopped responding to the changes.
Now my
hosts file does not work at all. The hosts file responds on other
computers. The hosts file will also not respond when logging in as another
user on my computer.
Did dnsflush, confirmed flush with displaydns. Is there anything else I can
do? Do I have to redo my system to get the hosts file to work again?
Thanks in advance
