    Hosts File : New Tutorial!


    I'm aware this is not an everyday subject but I found that my total lack of knowledge on the subject made me want to acquire some understanding of how it works; I do see requests for info about the Hosts File from time to time so I hope it's a help to some.

    Hello Derek.



    The main reason I learned about it is because I thoroughly embarrassed myself trying to help someone with a question about the Hosts File not long ago.




    Thanks mate! :)
