I’m drawing a blank.

How do I reroute a website using the registry?

I tried using the host file. It’s not working.

127.0.0.1 [www.nyspeed.com](http://www.nyspeed.com)

is that right?

I also tried 127.0.0.2

You just tried making the change and it didn’t work?

Did you try doing ipconfig /flushdns

I don’t know if cached DNS entrys come before the hosts file…
