| LOL !!

| Stratman,
|
| The ".dll" file makes WinMX ignore the "hosts" file for connecting to
| the WPN or the ONN. So restoring your original "hosts" file shouldn't
| give any problems, but if you find it does, then it can't hurt to just
| leave the "hosts" file containing the peer cache servers redirections.
| If you have any other redirections in your original "hosts" file, like
| those put there by anti-spyware applications to block spy- and adware,
| then you might consider copying those lines from your original "hosts"
| file and adding them to your new "hosts" file.
|
| Good luck,
|

Thanks. It works with both fixes in place so I'll leave it like that.
