ok; Marcia, if you just put the IP in, you'll get the page, but it won't have any formatting and the pictures will all be broken.
Kimberkara, yes, save it to the desktop; you have Vista, same as me, but I have the UAC turned on.
just...press save, then click the desktop button, and just save it there. once saved, go to the desktop, rightclick, remove the bit that says ".txt", and drag it back into and over the existing Hosts file; it should overright it.

I found I had to first move the host file to the desktop before changing and saving it (as is without the .txt extension), before moving it back to the original folder.

I wasn't able to get the fix to work. The hosts file saved just fine, but I still get the 404 error page. I have to put the IP address in to even access the site, but it won't let me login regardless. *sigh*
