Not replacing Hosts file changes upon profile change

I'm using Vista 64bit and running NetSetMan as admin. I use 2 lines of redirection in one of my profiles, but upon changing profiles (with or without hosts checked) I'm still stuck with the previous redirections. Even closing the application does not resolve the problem.

Re: Not replacing Hosts file changes upon profile change

NetSetMan changes only the hosts file entries that it created itself. So if you have two hosts file lines in one profile and zero in another, NetSetMan will set the two lines when activating the first profile and also remove them when activating the second profile.

If you have any other hosts file entries that you made manually or by another program, NetSetMan won't touch them!

Check your hosts file: %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Some notes:
- Hosts checkbox need to be checked to apply hosts settings when activating this profile
- NetSetMan only performs changes when a profile is activated. So only running or closing the program won't make a difference
