hosts file not working properly ? - GoFuckYourself.com

zentz · 12-04-2005, 06:09 PM

i added these lines in my hosts file

64.255.171.23 www.gayreels.com
64.255.171.23 gayreels.com

and here is what i get after ping:
Pinging www.gayreels.com [64.255.171.23] with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 64.255.171.23: bytes=32 time=195ms TTL=52

Ping statistics for 64.255.171.23:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 194ms, Maximum = 195ms, Average = 194ms

BUT when i type www.gayreels.com to a browser, i still get directed to an old ip..

what could it be ? why is it not taking any effects ?

I hate to waste my 34,000 post on this, but the only time I modify my hosts file is when my ISP has my old version cached.

I guess I don't understand what you are trying to do.

im moving site to another host, so i want to install everything before i switch dns to avoid the downtime.

Why not just type the IP in the browser url instead of the addy - then you would be looking at the new stuff

too easy I guess

Give your machine a reboot. I'm more of a linux/macosx guy (you wouldnt have to do this in either) but ive read several things here and there on the net that recommend a reboot of windows after changing the hosts file.

not if you have a couple domains on the same ip

You need to clean your DNS cache.. easiest way is to press Alt+Shift+F4+Ctrl then click on Flush DNS cache
