Hello,

I downloaded the hosts file available from the MIcrosoft MVP site, and 
had problems with localhost. I asked on this list, and was told to add 
two localhost lines to the hosts file. This solved the problem but I was 
just looking at the hosts file, and I think I may have one line 
incorrect. See the following -

127.0.0.1  localhost ray--desktop
127.0.1.1  ray-desktop

My question is, is there supposed to be two dashes in that first line, 
or did I blow that part of it?

I'm not experiencing any problems, but those two dashes don't seem right 
to me.

Later, Ray Parrish
