Re: /etc/hosts?


Hi,

I think the OS that actually handles this, so you need to create a
DOS-text %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file. If you have
Cygwin apps that actually look in /etc/hosts, you might try a symlink
from /etc/hosts to %WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.

Regards,
Doug Wyatt
