[Dxbase] Windows 7 64 Bit & Hosts File

Tue Jan 4 15:06:39 EST 2011

hosts is the filename (no extension, be sure)
copy into c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc Not c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
maybe that is what you did wrong, also in windows 7 (mine anyway) permissions may have to be given for overwriting the file in dxbase, so I copy and paste info into the file in notepad (with permissions) then copy over to the etc folder

Subject: [Dxbase] Windows 7 64 Bit & Hosts File 
My saga to get DXBase 2007 to function under Windows 7 64 bit continues 
although I am making progress. The last remaining big hurdle is to be able 
to connect via telnet to the various DX Clusters.
N6PYI advised me to copy and paste the DXB 2007 Hosts file into: 
c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
I did this and it is still not working.
When I go to File, Modify Hosts File, it shows the Hosts file location as 
c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts, but it also says...Unable to locate 
Hosts Files.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you.
