The remedy for XP is as follows: To resolve this issue (manually) open the "Services Editor" * Start | Run (type) "services.msc" (no quotes) * Scroll down to "DNS Client", Right-click and select: Properties * Click the drop-down arrow for "Startup type" * Select: Manual, or Disabled (recommended) click Apply/Ok and restart. [more info] When set to Manual you can see that the above "Service" is not needed (after a little browsing) by opening the Services Editor again, scroll down to DNS Client and check the "Status" column. It should be blank, if it was needed it would show "Started" in that column."

MrNxDmX Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I did know that modifying hosts file boosts internet much, but it used to lock my computer come minutes after "first connecting to internet", as Angel 5 stated. But i didnt know that disabling dns service resolves this issue. Also after replacing my hosts file, one of svchost.exe services (in taskmanager) has became bigger than 30000 kb. Is it same at urs?

MrNxDmX Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 You dont need the link in first post. Go to http://www.hosts-file.net/?s=Downloadand download the hosts.zip file. extract it. rename hosts.txt to hosts, and put it in ur i386 folder or in \Windows\system32\drivers\etc folder. Then restart ur computer. Thats all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
