You are missing something in the gosts file. This is the computer that 
rules named. A lot of times it is the host and or the router for a site. 
Ask the ISP for the hosts information. When using trumpet (tm), ii is a 
flat ascii file found in the trumpet directory.

here is a rough sample
C:\ttrumpet\hosts
#
# A demo hosts file
#
127.0.0.1       localhost
 
198.68.15.33    tserver1.ordata.com tserver1
198.68.15.1     cobra.ordata.com
198.68.15.61    news.ordata.com
198.68.15.254   express.ordata.com
