Hi folks, hope you can help.
A few years ago I was having trouble logging into my favorite site (ppc warez of course) and I found a message somewhere to use a specific ip address, or something similar, which I followed, and this worked for a while. Now I can only log in using your VGA address.
Can you help undo the changes I made all that time ago, so I can view your glorious site as God (or Allah) intended.
Sorry if this message is a bit vague, but you are dealing with a verry vague person.

My sincere thanks, Dix.

You did edit your "hosts" file (on linux/windows) or edited your registry (windows mobile) and configured a fixed IP.
If this is not enough info to remember, please tell us if you have lindos, windos or winmob.

My sincere thanks, maze 1980, I can now view my favorite site in full resolution.
For anyone else who has this problem the host file on my XP machine is at C:\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.
Just open it with notepad an put "#" at the start of each line with "ppcwarez" in it.
Thanks again for your help, dear sir.
