computer fails to resolve host for home.eyesonff.com

Well I haven't actually tried editing my hosts file with it, I wanted to test it first.

Oh. Well, since it's probably on a shared server, it's very likely that it needs the name to point you to the right place. Modifying your hosts file would work when typing it manually doesn't, because then the browser will send that information in its request, if that's the case (I haven't tested it still).

Ok, that worked, thanks. I still can't get the chat stats (which are at eyesonff.com rather than home.eyesonff.com) to work, though. Those might be hosted on a different domain.

For anyone else who has to edit their hosts file, you'll need to put in the IP address for both home.eyesonff.com and forums.eyesonff.com.

You can just add the same line for eyesonff.com also, if you want to, and it'll fix anything hosted without a subdomain like that chat stuff.
