[Dxbase] Windows 7 64 Bit & Hosts File

[Bill]

Hosts file SHOULD be in the location that N6PYI listed below.
But remember, Hosts file should NOT have a suffix, No period, no 
letters, nothing after Hosts

So using Windows Explorer, navigate to that subdirectory and you SHOULD SEE
Hosts                         12/20/10 2:14PM  File            4KB
Hosts.dxb27.bak        06/10/07 4:39PM BAK File    1KB

if the Hosts entry has any kind of suffix such . txt of mdb or anything 
at all
Click on it, Select 'Rename', and remove the suffix, anything after the 
name hosts even if there is a . (period)
