Sorry if this has been posted already, but I could not find it through a search.

I am having trouble opening up the (THE) Web site at my home computer, but I can for some reason open it on the crappy Mac I use at work. Can anyone point me in the right direction for getting this fixed? Someone mentioned using notepad to change a file, but I am not sure about the specifics.

Any help is appreciated.

1. Go to windows/system32/drives/etc/hosts

2. Open the hosts file with Notepad. It should look like this:

Quote
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

# 72.51.33.206 themanadrain.com
# 72.51.33.206 www.themanadrain.com

3. Delete the last two lines (meaning any mention of TMD in there. Meaning the stuff I put down in bold in the above quote).

4. Save the file (do NOT use 'save as...' since this will cause problems with file extensions),

5. Reboot, and presto!

Usually a reboot isn't necessary; only a browser restart (that means all browser windows if you're using IE).
