[Xitami] Re: Subdomain under Win XP Home localhost

[Ayhan Tuncer]

Hi Magnus - Hi Jeff - Hi Go Bonkers - Hi Andris 

Go Bonkers certainly found the culprit.

Two letters: IE

Can you believe this? I can't, because it should have been the first
thing to check. It's always the first thing I check for any problem I
know about.

Netscape displays any kind of host in the etc/hosts file.
IE opens up the dialup connection dialog box.

And I was about to tear down a Dell laptop operating system!

  If you're using IE and proxy server configs might try checking the
  "bypass proxy server for local addresses" under connections.

Go Bonkers, I do not use an English version of XP. Can you please point
me the way to the above? 

I could not find it in the connection/proxy preferences of IE. I'd like
to access the hosts from both browsers.

I want to thank all of you for writing about the hosts file. This is
such valuable information. 

The hosts file + simplicity of Xitami's virtual hosts configuration
gives you the opportunity to have hundreds of websites on your laptop,
all of them perfectly functional, cgi-bin, aliases, and all, naming them
what ever you like! 

Thanks again.

Ayhan
