As title, I'd enter a line in the hosts file, but it seems doesn't work. (can ping the ip address, but can't ping the host name). However, it's work if I using the win98 in the Virtual PC setup in the same PC, can someone help ? thanks a lot
 
Is the host name correct?

Now my hosts file is working again now ^_^
