<DIV>Sorry, no I meant with a space as thats how the hosts file is organised, it
looks for an IP and name separated. In some games for example it "seems" to
check its own hostname and then do a lookup on it, as counterintuitive as it
sounds when it comes to the master servers. I've never tested that in cod/cod2
to see if its the same though, just wanted to give another avenue for thought.

<DIV>It shouldn't lock you out whatever as a quick temp test (copy, then replace
if wanted). Just generally don't have <A href="http://127.0.0.1">127.0.0.1</A>
missing etc, but I'm distracting again. If you don't feel comfortable doing it,
definitely don't. <BR><BR> </DIV>

thinking here is if I do that and it doesnt work then I could lock myself out
of the server but not sure so i'm not gonna try. Im sure the problem
must lay somewhere else. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

someone else that has a working hosted linux server could tell me what is in
