85.17.40.69 tracker.oink.me.uk
85.17.40.70 irc.oink.me.uk
85.17.40.71 oink.me.uk

Works great just copy and paste it into your hosts file(open hosts file with notepad) Thanks dude.

Thanks for OS X info.. ;)

I'm nervous about that

I did everything, I changed my host file like that;

and I changed my file's name as hosts(before name:host1) but still I can't access the site with oink.me.uk but direct ip link(http://85.17.40.71/) is working.I don't know how ı can overcome this problem and I would broke my monitor because of my nerve.

File -> Save.

Edit /etc/hosts in vim or nano

"nano /etc/hosts"

Nano is much easier to use, IMO.
