Hi,
WXP-64 retail;

while i walked through the directory-structure i found out, that i have NO
system\drivers\etc\host

Is there no local nameresolution anymore, or if I edit it myself with
creating \etc do i have to add a registry-entry for the searchpad ?

regards jk

But this \system32\etc\ and hosts (below this) are NOT installed !

Sorry, for correction :
\system32\drivers\etc\
\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
neither folder nor file exists , nor lmhosts ....

regards jk
might be a BUG

Hi,
i checked my installation cd (englisch with mutli german / japanes pack)
host and lmhosts are in there ??

could you post a directory listing of \etc
regards jk

I'll repeat what others have said. The directory is there, and the file is
there, on a clean, fresh, x64 Edition install. However, I would caution you
to make sure you've got your Explorer set to be able to see Protected System
Files -- given that the directory is where it is, it would be hidden from you
otherwise.

HI,
I did a more specific research, I do have the following effect :

I can find system32\drivers\etc + disdn folder and files in these folder
when i use
64 bit explorer or start cmd via "start"-"run"

I CAN'T see these folder if i use 32bit explorer, or (32bit) Total-Commander
or use cmd, started on the commandline of total-commander.
I am already able to change within cmd to change in \etc allthough it was
not listed before, as u can see here :

**starting cmd via total-commander-command line

2 Dir(s) 1.868.353.536 bytes free

D:\WINDOWS\system32\Drivers\etc>

**changing and listing possible


I do have the same effect if I start 32-bit Explorer, navigate to
system32\drivers, create a new shortcut "cmd" and execute this !
**u might have to walk down manually

At last, if i use Total-Cmd I find a file "hfile.txt" -0 bytes- which is
marked hidden/system.



Can u confirm ?
Any clue ?

regards jk

See the post on the newsgroup titled "32bit -- 64bit different
browser-results" This is due to WOW64 filesystem redirection.
