Windows 2000

    code:notepad.exe C:\WinNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts


Windows XP/2003 Server

    code:notepad.exe C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts



The only text that should be in the hosts file is the following.

    # 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



If you have anything other then that is above delete it and replace it.
