| Then there is quite a bit of information missing about the operating system, and network setup.... It sounds like you work in IT, and there are quite a few ebay sites to block...

Re: ebay host file If you had to create the hosts file because it didn't exist, then you'll need to reboot. After that any future changes made to it won't require a reboot. |

youll need to flush dns cache as well. A simple right click repair on the network question will do that for you.
I had a host file set up to block ads long ago and had a heck of a time making it work then i had some silly connection isue ip addy would not show up so right click repair and sure enough hosts file started workign as well. |
