Hosts file on Windows Vista
Getting hosts file (for DNS resolution) to work on Windows vista could be aggravating because of all the security and access control that it has in place. In my case, I couldn’t get it to honor the entries in my hosts file. Commonly proposed solutions modifying UAC, and flushing DNS cache didn’t work for me.
Today I found this. stopping/restarting dns cache service worked. Not sure how this is different from flushing-dns but it worked for me.
> net stop dnscache
> net start dnscache
