OSX Lion not respecting entries in your /etc/hosts file….

SOLVED:

Snow Leopard installs converted to Lion end up with file corruption in /etc/hosts.

  1. cat /etc/hosts
  2. copy it into your paste buffer
  3. paste it into text mate (or other)
  4. select and re-copy to your paste buffer
  5. delete your /etc/hosts file
  6. vim and insert into a new /etc/hosts file
That’s it!  Ignore lengthy articles about scutil –dns order and like. Not important.
