Did you look at your hosts file? It's probably in Windows->System32->
Drivers->Etc and it can be opened with a plain text editor. If you open it
with Notepad and make changes, Notepad will automatically append .txt to
it, and you will have to rename it hosts without the suffix.

OK.I have a file called hosts, you want me to rename it to a .txt
file, I assume to disable it? (It has two entries in it).

sorry, misunderstood, what do you want me to change in the hosts file?

# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each

# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host
name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one

# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual

# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost
