Anyone know how to modify entries on the host file when it is being marked as read-only? I have tried unchecking "Read-only" but it says "Access is Denied". I'm runnin as the Administrator.

Don't edit it in place. Take a copy of it, edit the copy and then replace the original with the edited copy. Doing all this as an administrator of course. |

Is this a personal machine, or in a corporate environment? Is it possible that it's locked down thru SMS so you're not allowed to change it? |

If you are unable to change permissions or attributes on a file you can take ownership of the file to force the changes to be made. |
