no dosent work thnks anyway
can you explain please?
browse to the folder..
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\
then open notepad, and drag the hosts file into it
a 'normal' one should look like this
but without the beta.gaf(etc) line
the hosts file is used to redirect names and websites to another location, ie, if you had "gmail.com hotmail.com" if you tried to visit hotmail.com, it would take you to gmail.com instead
you may have 127.0.0.1 ebay.co.uk which would make your pc search itself for ebay.co.uk

If the IP doesn't work, it's unlikely to be the hosts file - what does a traceroute (start, run, cmd, tracert) to ebay look like?
Have you changed anything recently, such as a new router? Do any other sites not work, such as banking or any other secure site?
