[Dxbase] cluster issue

Thu May 5 16:23:19 EDT 2011

The other way to edit a Hosts file is a little trickier.
goto
C: Windows>System32>drivers>etc
the file your looking for is called Hosts please note it has no suffix.
in the folder you may find a file
Hosts.dxb27.bak
That was created if you modified via the DXB>File option.
In the Hosts file either modify the incorrect listing or create a new 
listing.
You can use Notepad to do this.
The tricky part is the Save
Host does NOT use a suffix so check the windows directory to make sure 
Notepad didn't append a .txt or some other suffix to the file.
If it did, just rename it without the suffix.
good luck
