HOSTS File - Post # 4

There are a couple of more steps to go. In this post we will do only one of them to keep things simple. When you read post # 1 and read the web site linked to, you saw the section about disabling DNS Services. Here is how to do that in XP:

1) Click on START, then RUN, then key in services.msc and click on OK.

2) In the Services window that comes up as a result of 1 above, scroll down until you see  DNS Client. Highlight it by clicking on it just once.

3) Now right click on it and select Properties. In the resulting window, change the Startup Type to DISABLED.

4) Click on APPLY and then OK.

5) Restart your system.
