Important! Hosts file note, may need to be passed along to some members.

THANKS THIS IS GREAT

Just a quick note: If anyone hears from a member who isn't able to access the site since it's moved, have them check and see if their Hosts file is still pointing the url moreawesomethanyou.com to the old IP address from back when the site was attacked.  Deleting that line may fix the problem.

And maybe a reminder about where to find the host files.  Embarrassed

I can't get MATY on my desktop, and I was smart enough to figure out why, even before seeing this post,  but can't remember where/what exactly I did when I changed it.  My personal live-in tech support is on a plane, coming home from a business trip, and my back-up tech support must be in class, because he's not answering IM's.  Cheesy

At least now that I know the name of them, I can do a search.

Heh, sorry.  The Hosts file is located in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc (on my XP - SP2 system, anyway.)

Don't worry about it, how were you to know? Besides, that's what wiki is for.   Cheesy

You would think, having added it in the first place, that I'd remember where it was, but apparently not.

I was among the afflicted ones. A Windoze file search pointed me to the right direction  Roll Eyes

It affected me too.  Undecided
If it hadn't been for someone (I forget who) at Insiminater (sp?) then I would have completely forgotten about the host file.

I just found the reminder about the hosts file at laverwinklesims.  Whew!  I was getting tired of looking at that relicnews web page!

Me too.  I'm glad I thought to check laverwinklesims, otherwise I probably still wouldn't know the site was back up.
