If you made changes to your host file to resolve that domain issue we had a while back, REMOVE the changes. If you don't do it before Thursday, you will end up losing us and won't know why.
Our host is moving us to a different server with more resources. The IP address is likely to change when that happens.
Also, expect some down-time Thursday.
Amy

Wahhhhh! Okay, I got that out of my system. 
I don't think I ever figured out how to do that work-around. I guess I'll find out later this week!!

I'm already experiencing problems tonight.
Is the link to the explanation about the host file thingy still in your Eps profile, Amy?

I don't remember, em. It might be there. I don't think we'll need to make host file changes this time. Just make sure you get rid of the old ones.
Yes, the server is limping tonight. Luckily, the host is cool and is just relocating us instead of telling us to hit the pike.

Okay, but I need to know how to get back to the host file so I can remove the additions I made back when you told us to.

I found my hosts file in c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Windows XP.
Open the file using Notepad. Delete the two lines referring to EA. Go to the file pulldown menu and click save.
Poof. All gone.

I'm not sure why they did it, but we moved a day early.

It was very lonely this a.m. 
I'm so glad we're all back!

I was scared when I hit the URL and all the files were gone... I could see the empty directories.  |

I remembered that JP had linked to the instructions for finding the host file, so I searched his blog and found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_file#Location |

Ok--I did it I think, but if I screwed it up, Amy you better bail me out.

If you screwed it up, you wouldn't be here.
