...you mean LMHOSTS (Win98, NT, 2000)? XP went back to just HOSTS, but 98(I think) NT and 2000 (certainly) have two files - HOSTS, and LMHOSTS. They do the same thing... the "LM" stands for "Lan Manager" - a legacy thingy from Microsoft's attempt at a networking protocol :) Yup on the above, my bad. 98, NT and 2000 have both files. I tend to walk end users through renaming the file or deleting it rather than deleting lines from it. Trust me, on the phone it's a lot easier. :/ Brynna

You're already falling
It's calling you on to face the music.
