| sorry for the dumb question, but
For some reason, whenever I click on an ad now, I get a "could not connect" screen. Try refresh, nothing. Tried diagnose, nothing. I am running up to date (all SP's, etc.) of XP for home, NIS 2009, and Hostsman with only MVP's added. I'm sure a switch got clicked somewhere, but I can't figure it out and my searches for help have not yielded anything. What am I missing?
Thanks.

Using a Hosts file, huh......think about that for a moment. |

Greenville, SC | Yeah - I know, but I've been using the hosts file and no problem before. These are ad links I can see on Google, etc.

The simple way of finding if it is the Hosts file is to remove the hosts file.....you can replace it later. |

I am using Mvps and notice that many of the google ads will not work. Using organic listings is no problem but the paid once are suppressed. Must be something in the link/cookie that triggers the hostfile. |

Greenville, SC | Well, beats the heck out of me, but turning off the Hosts File via HostsMan did the trick. Not sure why it didn't used to be a problem (MVP host file "on"), then all of a sudden it was a problem, but all is well. Thanks for the help.
