Thanks to Gigs for this fix:
Look for a file on your PC called "hosts". Just hosts, no extension or anything. Right click on it and change the properties from read-only to normal. Add the following lines (using Notepad):
|
Code: |
|
67.18.223.186 forums.kingdomofloathing.com |
Save the file (again, *no* extension) and set it back to read-only.
On Windows 98 this file is located in c:\windows
On Windows 2000 and XP it's located in c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc (note your system may use a windows directory other than winnt)
If, by default you cannot view file extensions, your text editor may be saving the file with a .txt extension. Change your view settings and rename the file without an extension.
*edit* - On many systems there may not be a hosts file, but you may find a "hosts.sam". This is a sample hosts file. You can add the above lines to the hosts.sam file and then rename hosts.sam to just hosts.
