I can't get into on my computer anymore. I know it is still active because I can get to it from any other computer. My security settings are set to medium and I'm not running a firewall. I can still get into which is run by the same people. Has anyone ever run into this problem or maybe know a solution?

If this problem ever happens to you, here's how to fix it. In the Windows folder there is a file called "hosts" with no extension. Open it with notepad or word and you will see a list of IP addresses with their corresponding web page opposite them. Find the address of the web page you are having trouble with and delete it along with it's IP address. The web page will now load.

What is the function of this file? Mine has no listings, other than one example and "localhost".
