I have tried solving the problem according to http://support.microsoft.com
with no success. I believe there are lines missing in HOSTS file :


# Eksempel:
#
# " nnn.nn.nn.nn " rhino.acme.com # kildeserver
# " nn.nn.nn.nn " x.acme.com # x-klientvert

# " nnn.n.n.n " localhost

I have an old XP-CD and updated by Servicepack 1 and 2. Does Servicepack 2
contain all updates - included Servicepack 1 and Is it possible to use the CD
to run the repair program?
