Micosoft Windows. Redirected Hosts. Any ideas?
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
Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition running on a 2.40GHz Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor with 512 MB of RAM and a 533 MHz System Bus.
Thanks for your help.
Deleting the entry solved the problem.
