 * Nevermind, I know what it is. Hosts file doesn’t use ports at the end, so it 
   wasn’t working. I made all the changes to use port 80 and it works. Problem is
   that my ISP blocks port 80 – but that’s not you guys’ problem 😉
 * Thanks very much for the help! 😀

 * Ulysses, the DNS service I use already makes the port changes, so there’s no 
   need to use the :1024 at the end of the URL. Maybe Windows doesn’t like that 
   in the hosts file?

 * No effect 🙁 could it be cause of the :1024 maybe?

 * Ahhh I see.. one last thing: does the hosts file admit ports? Example: 192.168.0.10:
   1024

 * Ulysses, Class,
 * I’ve tried editing the host file (actually I found 2, “hosts” & “hosts.msn” –
   I edited both), but when I type [http://my.dns.addy.org](http://my.dns.addy.org)
   in FF, I still get the error. The entry must have the “[http://&#8221](http://&#8221);
   part, right? Does this file startus up automatically? *head scratch*
 * Thanks,
    Zyzzy.

 * PS: Is it the one in C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc? If so, after I add the 
   entry, do I reboot?
 * Ty,
    Zyzzy.

 * Ulysses,
 * The port forwarding is already done – although I use 1024 because my ISP blocks
   port 80. This “host” thing sounds like what I need, but I don’t know how do that
   🙂 I’m using FF 1.0.7, if it helps in anything.
 * Thank you,
    Zyzzy.
