Windows Xp hosts file ignored
I have windows xp pro pc with a internet connection thru LAN and some router.And for some reason windows xp is ignoring my hosts file and going to router for a dns lookup. if i have127.0.0.1 google.comit works great.in fact if put any local ip like 192.168.0.100 instead of 127.0.0.1 it works great.but if i put any Internet ip address instead of 127.0.0.1 it goes to router for a dns lookup and completly ignores my hosts file. this is bad. i tried flushing local dns cache, turning off local dns cache, changing priority in registry, and so on but nothing helped.i found many people with same problem but no solution to fix it.interesting fun bug is if i do https request it somewhat works but not as suspected. 1 person needs an answerI do too
