Well you may have a point if taking this forum title literally, but I think it's in the right forum myself.

Absolutely. We don't want to upset the fanbois, do we?

Good point, I was aware of that file and should have thought of it.

I'll get him to email it to me, I've sent him the address path so he can find it.

I've now got his hosts file and it all looks just fine. Identical to mine (both Win 7 systems).

So, hopefully, it's running clean now.

Took 36 hours to complain!

Trying to consider where else it could have been posted...

Plusnet area? (he's a Plusnet user)

Eclipse area? (I'm an Eclipse user)

Security area? (though not really a direct security issue)

Hardware area? (he's using a PC which contains hardware)

Technical issues? (but that's for DSL issues)

The Audio & Music Forum (son & I talk and share - some - music tastes)

Perhaps the Park? (we both know how to park motor vehicles)

/getting bored now, will leave for others to waste their time...

General Broadband Chatter would probably have been the best place, but I don't see it matters.

In the past, it would probably have been Free Chat. /sigh
