No problem - is she alone or is she with HER girlfriend? I only ask because I want to know if I can rent a 2-seater (Ferrari) or will I need something a bit more similar to what Steve Irwin drives in order to accommodate 3 people?

No problem..........but just in case there is some type of mishap, I&#39;ll need your address. Maybe you could include a map as well from the Int&#39;l Airport to your place. Feel free to include some touristy stops along the way - places she will be able to tell me the history and significance of.

This is for FC, because he is the master of fixes.&nbsp; So.... here is the story, I have Win98 SE ... anyway I go into windows and look for the &#39;hosts&#39;.&nbsp; I have two, one is named &#39;hosts&#39; and the other is named &#39;Hosts&#39;.&nbsp; Both are unassociated with any program to open it with, and have the &#39;windows&#39; icon inside it.&nbsp;

I opened the &#39;hosts&#39; one with notepad and added those lines you had listed.&nbsp; then I clicked &#39;File&#39; and then save and had no clue what type to save it as or where to save it in... so I saved it as a txt doc and in windows.... and that did absolultely nothing except create a text file... I dont know why soulseek wont work still.&nbsp; I did read that little dialog you put at the beginning about the domain name.&nbsp; I read that somewhere, but that didnt tell me anything other than "just wait and it will be back up soon"

So... I hope you have some suggestions.

Thanks brother.

goto the hosts file you changed...and delete the .txt at the end of it...should do the trick...[/b][/quote]
Thanks for directing me to Cel.... since he is the real master of fixes....although you all are wizards and I am but a peon and cant fix this @#%%% thing. Ok so this is simple I am sure... but here is what my client says when I try to to open it.

"Could not resolve server address. If your Internet connection is up, this might be a temporary problem with your name resolution service. Please try again later."

When I go to my windows folder there still are two files in there... one is &#39;hosts&#39; and the other is &#39;Hosts&#39;. I tried again with the &#39;hosts&#39; and get the same result. It just creates a new .txt files with all the same info that was there when I opened it with the notepad program.

Yes, Hog.... I did click &#39;Save&#39; and not &#39;Save As&#39; just as I did the first time.

I took a look at what you said Cel about deleting the .txt portion at the bottom and I do not see and IP addresses with .txt extenstions there.... so I really dont know what you mean.

Additionally, I tried to open the &#39;Hosts&#39; file the same way and it seems its a sample file. when I closed it, the icon inside that file changed from the standard windows icon to a different one.... and I checked properties to see what type of file it was and it is called a &#39;SAM&#39; file... I have no clue what that is.

The original &#39;hosts&#39; file on the other hand remained the same, and when I clicked on properties for that one and check the type of file, it is still called &#39;File&#39; .

I am still without soulseek.

Try it and see...it worked for all of us today.But from what they are saying it is not anymore.

Well, that doesnt help me one bit since i dont even know where to find the damn hostfiles. I love you guys for helping eachother out here.... not&#33;

Here is the fix:

Find your hosts file,
in Windows XP it is C:&#092;WINDOWS&#092;system32&#092;drivers&#092;etc&#092;hosts
in Windows 2000 it is C:&#092;WINNT&#092;system32&#092;drivers&#092;etc&#092;hosts
in Windows 98 it is C:&#092;WINDOWS&#092;hosts
I&#39;m not sure what it is in ME/95.

Now open the file with Notepad.
Add these four lines to the very bottom of the file:

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

Now go to: File&#092;Save (Not Save-As)

This will solve the problem.

Or though it was earlier today....try it and see.I did it today and it worked.....but have not been off of SS since then. [/b][/quote]
I have a much better solution:

Uninstall SoulSeek and start buying your music legally. This will make life much easier for you in the very near future - trust me.

Sincerely,

Mr. Sherman

[musicmaster]

I do buy music legally you imbecile.....but obviously you thrive and prosper from people giving you shit. So, with that I bid you adue or is it a doo..... or just dew ..... like on the rose you must wither.....so wither and goooooooooo away.

[Adster]

f*ck buying music for 30 bucks each
and Musicmaster you must be going save as instead of save thtas why its cretaeing another txt file

[Adster]

I think not Adam&#33;

uh oh she knows my name now

[Gutter]

It seems the most recent problem I&#39;m having is not that server Hosts.txt (fixed that one)
but just the large amount of memory slsk is hogging up.
It&#39;s slowing my web browsing down A LOT and bringing my downloads in soulseek to a crawl, or almost complete stop.

Major bummer
