Hi,
i have a big probelm in last few days which i can't resolve.
i defined some site lets say cnn under my hosts file but when i am
doing ping to the cnn i am getting the real site and not the 127.0.0.1.
here is my host
127.0.0.1 www.cnn.com
but, i tried to ping the site, browser the site with IE and it always
took me to the right site.
i checked the following things,
1. the extension of the hosts file - was nothing.
2. the path under the registry key DataBasePath was ok - lead to the
hosts folder %SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc
3. i used a file monitor on the etc folder and when i ping to cnn
nothing happen under the File monitor but when i get into the folder
the file monitor show me the operations i did.
4. i tried to ipconfig /release or flushdns or registerdns and almost
any thing i found in the net but still have the same problem.
so, as far as i can see it, my hosts file is ignored.
PLEASE ADVISE
Thanks.
