adding settings to host file worked! cheears!!! n lots of thanks. my life is back to normal

I love you!!!
Thanks!

I added the two lines into the hosts file, I think I made everything correct, but I still get the error 17. I could search for lyrics but can't download them.
This is what my hosts file looks like:

# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost

You may need to right click and rename your file to just 'hosts' if it has the '.old' on the end. Then you can edit it in notepad.

This worked fine. Thanks! Now I can listen to Slipknot peacefully

For easily do this. Copy the file called 'hosts' to desktop. Edit it, place the above lines then save. Copy it back to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ , and tada!

I have the same problem under windows10 and changed the file hosts.txt and copy the two lines; see my file:

but it don´t work. i can´t open the lyric.

what am i doing wrong?

Thank you so much. I did as your instruction and it worked. I was so furious before that I wanted to uninstall Minilyrics

Sorry that I answer a bit late, had no time to test.
I needed to add 2 empty lines at the end of the hosts file, and now it WORKS!
My OS is Windows 10
Thanks for your responses!

Does anyone know how to download lyrics manually from site?
