Micosoft Windows. Redirected Hosts. Any ideas?

[MacPeter]

Hi,

One of the French-speaking users has the following problem:

He is not using the Teatimer but when he starts a scan it does not go to the end and he gets the following message:


Microsoft Windows. Redirected Hosts
(SBI $869F113A) Hosts redirigé
msn.com =127.0.0.1

What could I tell him?
Thankks for your suggestions

It appears that there is an entry in your friends HOSTS file blocking access to msn.com.

The only thing that I can suggest is to either do a "Fix selected problems" on the detection or inspect the HOSTS for the following entry and delete it:
127.0.0.1 msn.com
The HOSTS file is located here:
Win 95/98/ME = C:\WINDOWS
Windows 2K = C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Windows XP/Vista = C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC

Thanks for your help.:bigthumb:

Deleting the entry solved the problem.
