I know what he's talking about...

I'm wondering what the hell you are talking about. What catastophic system failure would occur if one deleted their hosts file and why should it NEVER be deleted?


P.S.

I never saw him ask how to force resolution to a new IP on his local machine. I saw him ask how long the update should take. Maybe I missed it, though...
