Yup done that now

You will have fun trying to sort out your problem if funtrivia.com change their IP address and you have set in your host file as 75.126.68.186

. Remember Ian said as a temp measure only.

Yeh im aware of that, tho curious if they did change it how would we find out how to get back on & get the new IP?

If it stopped working then you can then try reverting to a DNS lookup URL i.e. put the my.funtrivia.com back in. OR you could try pinging the domain and then adjusting to its new IP address. It seems to be OK for funtrivia but some sites don't work well particularly if they are using a virtualhosts setup in their Apache/webserver and haven't included IPs as listeners(Yes, I know that all suddenly went WHOOOOSHH but its correct for the techies amongst us)
