[QUOTE="galan05, post: 1020668, member: 42562"] I love my Mac, but I don't know Linux. I need to edit the etc/hosts/ file. Here's the deal: I transferred a domain to GoDaddy to move an existing blog from Wordpress.com. It was originally set up as a Linux hosting account. When they had problems transfgerring the blog, one of their techs said moving it to a Windows hosting account would solve the problems (I should've known better the moment I heard the word "Windows). I did. Nothing but problems thereafter. I finally got then to migrate my domain back to Linux. At the moment, though, both versions still exist. I need to go into the etc/hosts/ file to have the old domain name point to the new IP address. Only I don't know how to do that, and the GoDaddy techs say they can't help. Is there anyone here who knows their way around Snow Leopard well enough to tell me how to do this? .g [/QUOTE]
