I cant get my soulseek working. I tried to follow the steps in the other topic but it didnt work. Im using windows ME and this is exactly what I did.
Tell me what I did wrong:
Clicked start, clicked search, searched for hosts.
Opened hosts in notepad ( hosts was located at C:\WINDOWS )
Changed it to the following:
# Copyright © 1998 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP stack for Windows98
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost
38.115.131.131 sk2.slsk.org
38.115.131.131 www.slsk.org
38.115.131.131 mail.slsk.org
38.115.131.131 server.slsk.org
That is exactly how the page looks. Anybody see whats wrong with it and why I still cant connect to Soulseek?
Thanks alot for any help.

Wrong Hostfile
C:\windows has 2 hostfiles, take the other one.

I have another host file located at - C:\Program Files\AOL 8.0\net\winme is that it?

A temporary DNS fix client is available HERE. I recommend you backup your *.cfg files before you install this, just in case. If clicking directly on the link doesn't work, try right-clicking it and selecting "save...", that should do the trick.
