1) Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
2) There will be several files in here but the one your interested in has no file extension. It's just call
hosts3) First we will make a backup of the file. Double click it. You will probably see a window pop up with the heading
Open With. Scroll down the list of programs and highlight
Notepad then click OK.
4) You should now see the contents of the file
hosts. At the top you will see some headings File, Edit, Format etc etc. Click
File, and then select
Save As. At the bottom of the box you will see
File name and to the right of it, your file
hosts. Click to the right of the word
hosts and add
.saf. Don't omit the "." Now click save.
5) Now use this
link and download the file into the
etc folder. You will get a warning message about overwriting an existing file, ignore that and continue.
6) That should be that. Start GTL as normal and check that you can still reach the lobby and join a race. Once your loaded into an event try to get an online setup. Try looking in the Crystal Palace folder. If you can find a file called DB4 by WT your sorted.
7) If it's all gone horribly wrong simply go back to the
etc folder, delete the
hosts file, right click on the
hosts.saf file that you made in step 4 and choose
rename. Delete the .saf and your back with your old
hosts file.
Hope this helps.
