Ebay down

The whole thing is very aggravating, as it isn't unique to an ISP, a web browser, or anything else I can figure out... so, finally today I found a tip, and it seems to have worked. so i'm sharing it here. go here on your computer: c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/ and change the hosts file to hostsold... reboot. your system will create a new hosts file, and everything works again. I JUST DID THIS FOR A FRIEND AFTER FINDING THIS ON ANOTHER WEB SITE...
