Windows 2003 not resolving names in the Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file

[sarloc3@gmail.com]

Hello,

I am having a problem with a Windows 2003 server install that is not
resolving names that are in the windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
file. I had this type of problem on a differnet system and replaced
the hosts file. That solved that issue, but not in this case.

Please help.

Thanks,

Carmen

The only thing that I can think of is that you have a .txt extension on the
file and it is not really a hosts file, or that you do not have the entries
configured correcly. Does it look like a notepad file or a windows icon?

Thanks
