Why are you browsing the internet on an Administrator account? The HOSTS file is only editable by Admin accounts. Never never never do daily work from an account with full priveleges, that's what the Power Users' group is for. Admin accounts are for maintenance-only (installing and configuring s/w), not general work. Austin Ehlers
