I’m having some issues with my hosts file.
127.0.0.1 localhost127.0.0.1 whatever127.0.0.1 sub.localhost127.0.0.1 example.com
localhostandwhateverboth work. However the others have weird behaviour.Ping sub.localhost
c:>ping sub.localhostPinging sub.localhost [127.0.0.1] with 32 bytes of data:Ping example.com
C:>ping example.comPinging example.com [127.0.0.1] with 32 bytes of data:All seems ok, but browsing example.com will open the correct example.com page @ 192.0.32.10 which is not the expected behaviour… (obviously sub.localhost wont work at all)
Any ideas why this happens?
UPDATE 1:Removing Proxy Configuration from browser solved it for
sub.localhost.example.comhowever still not working…UPDATE 2:Some more info…

Solution:
Is your Web browser using a proxy?
Mine is (I am at work) and when I connect to a Web site it seems to use the address the proxy server thinks, not the address my computer thinks.
