Default Re: Hosts

to all guys having problem with saving the hosts-file. are you using windows vista? this could be the reason for the problem. if you use vista, try one of the following things:
a) In windows vista, in the Control Panel - User Account management --> disable User Account Control (UAC)
b) right-click on the hosts-file and click on "take ownership". if there is no such entry, you can do this manually. there is a little program that adds this entry, but i can't find it right now.

(disclaimer: use this with caution, maybe google some more before you do it...)
