# # This is a sample HOSTS file # It is a good, clean, empty copy. # There should be only one entry, that for the localhost # If the localhost entry is missing however, it's no big deal # If there are any other entries, your computer is likely to have been # infected with malicious software!!! # # The hosts file assigns the name of a web page/site on the Internet # to an IP address. This bypasses the normal DNS system. # Each entry should be on a single line. The IP address should # start in the first column followed by one or more spaces # followed by the web page/site name. # # Any line, such as this one, that starts with a number sign is a comment # Comments can also appear on a line with a real entry as shown below # # Sample Entries: # 123.98.76.54 news.yahoo.com # Yahoo News # 44.11.22.33 www.google.com # Google Home Page 127.0.0.1 localhost
