I could neither edit nor delete my HOSTS file because the system said it was in use. I imagine that was becaus my PC is hooked up to cable thru a router.
I had to boot into safe mode, goto cmd and then edit the hosts file from their.
Man was I surprised. When I typed edit hosts the old DOS quickeditor came up. Brought back old times.
What a pain.
When are they going to get the DNS problem fixed.

Did you all get here using mtnbkr's tip from THR? I did.
Yep. If I can figure it out, anybody can figure it out.

Only applied to me, rather than him.
Or something like that.

That's odd. The hosts file isn't supposed to be "in use". It's referenced as needed to perform name lookups, but only when necessary. I've never run into a situation when that file was in use.

We'll all have to undo things when DNS issue is resolved.

I can't say this is what was going on with Werewolf, but I have seen some programs that are supposed to increase speed that will edit hosts file. I don't know if something like could hold it open.

If you have no idea what we are talking about, then don't worry about it.
