Thank for the feedback. Actually all active members should have corrected the "Hosts" file already at the previous server moves.

What you encountered will effect users who never shut down their computer, but send it to sleep only. Mac users might be most concerned.

Hello,
hosts file was ok already, but turns out that old IPs got stuck somehow in my router's cache. Rebooting it solved the problem.
Thanks a lot for your help!

We had an IP change 2 days ago. This should have been propagated through the DNS around the world by now.

possibility is that you've modified your "hosts" entries from times were we had DNS issues and it was a quick fix. It was the case on one of my PCs.

To correct that with Windows Vista and 7:
1/ In the Start menu select Accessories > right click on Notepad and select to start as administrator
2/ In the Notepad select File > Open > navigate to C:/ > Windows > System32 > drivers > etc
3/ Select in Notepad to show all files bottom right instead .txt files only, open the hosts file you'll see

If you see entries for gaytor.rent and gtru.net, just put an # sign in front of them or delete those line.

Save the file, which will only possible if you opened notepad with right mouse click as administrator as said upstairs.

ATTENTION: Do NOT touch any other entries, wrong manipulation may result in loosing internet navigation.

Feedback if it helped or not is appreciated.
