Browser ignoring host file setting
I just ran into a weird bug where all my browsers weren’t obeying my host file setting. This happened in Windows XP Pro with Chrome, Firefox, and IE. A console ping showed the correct IP however the browsers were still using the DNS reply. After opening the hosts file I found that I had duplicated an entry which aparently causes some sort of wacky issue. Removing the duplicate fixed the issue.
