I Win9x versions the hosts file is in C:\WINDOWS folder and there should be a hosts.sam file which is a sample host file that you can rename and append. In Windows NT and 2000 the hosts file is in C:\WINNT\System32\drivers\etc and again, there should be a hosts.sam file.

I believe mine is at C:\windows\hosts. You would need an entry like: 192.168.1.2 linuxserver If the hosts file doesn't exist, just create it. There may be a template with a different extension there for you to use, also. Try it and see if it solves your Eudora issues. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
