I'd keep all the 127.0.0.1 entries grouped together, for readability and maintenance. The ::1 entry is the IPv6 equivalent of 127.0.0.1 by the way. -- Paul Sture

The quickest way to edit it would be to: 1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal. 2. Enter the command (where aaaaa is the short name of an Mac OS X administration account): su aaaaa 3. At the prompt, enter the administrator account password. 4. Enter the command: sudo pico /etc/hosts 5. At the prompt, enter the administrator account password. 6. Use the arrow keys to move to the end of the file and add these lines: 127.0.0.1 intellitxt.com 127.0.0.1 vibrantmedia.com 7. Press the Control key and type: X 8. Type: Y 9. Press the Enter key. > BTW > > 127.0.0.1 localhost > 255.255.255.255 broadcasthost > ::1 localhost > > > Do I put these in after or before the ::1 Localhost command? You want to put your entries at the very bottom. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me. E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM filter. Due to Google's refusal to prevent spammers from posting messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google Groups. Use a real news client if you want me to see your posts. JR
