O.P. Huh?  Hosts file not being followed?
Hello.

It seems that my hosts file is not being followed for some reason...*-)
That means, that If I go to a website I have forwarded to 127.0.0.1 it will go to that website, but it wont go to 127.0.0.1 :(

Whats wrong with it?

I tried restarting my computer...
I also tried google, but no luck... :(

Thanks...

Maybe it's invalid, show us your hosts file.

Nah, its not invalid...
There is only one entry...
Anyway, here it is:

code:
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 chatbar.no-ip.com

Stupid suggestion IMO. You're allowed to have multiple host names assigned to the same IP address. I just tried it and it worked fine. I dunno why it won't work for Mike... :-/

Mike, did you try using different browsers? Maybe hitting Refresh?
