Just asking.. :rolleyes:

Is this line should be added to hosts file..?

127.0.0.1 localhost

Nope, it's present in the original hosts file - just as an example.

Won't make a direct difference - it's not recommended, though (every extra entry that over-floods the hosts causes a time-lag in internet speed.)

You may also make the corrections, here - if you wish to. :think:

The serial number is compulsory - other details such as the First Name, Last Name & Company Name are cosmetic but lend credibility to the overall registered state of IDM. :)

The 127.0.0.1 localhost (highlighted in the screenshot) can be deleted - you can try it out for yourself. ;)

[Supremo Phantom]

i would differ on that ...

127.0.0.1 localhost is the default windows built in loopback address, which the OS uses and refers to for all network testing issues, which is why it is always there in all HOSTS file by default.

It should NOT be removed, as it is used in TCP IP issues testing by windows.

as for the registration details, if you are using the HOSTS method, any random serial no and name can be used, coz it will never really go to the server for any verification. you don't even need a keygen if you have redirected all registration servers to the loopback address, as everything will return back to your own machine.

i have tested it on my own machine.. as long as you are using a cracked exe or a HOSTS method, the serial need not be necessarily alphanumeric, you can put in all numbers and it will still register.

[dcs18]

It doesn't look as though you read what I wrote at post # 7 ( reproduced below) - it's not so difficult to try it, yourself (been using the hosts for donkeys years.)

"127.0.0.1 localhost" shouldn't be removed

From answer 1

While everything seems to work, now, I think you may be headed for trouble later.

Disclaimer: I write software for a living.

From answer 2

So, on balance, you should put the line back. However, you don't have to do it as a matter of urgency.

Google IDM hosts entries and you'll not find a single hosts with the entry 127.0.0.1 localhost added separately. - BTW, here are the top 5 Google hits (try searching, though.)

DNS server managers have already identified this fact that there are some people who like to experiment and delete "127.0.0.1 localhost" entry from the local machine's HOSTS file.

This was a very common malpractice earlier, and it caused problems later, which is why the public DNS servers had to evolve to accommodate such practice related errors.

and considering that now we have started migrating to IPv6 as well, this is exactly why they have included this line now in their own servers just to ensure that the system can still resolve ping requests to localhost.

"127.0.0.1 localhost" is a very important entry as far as TCP and core networking concepts are concerned. it was NOT a comment line in earlier windows OS for this very purpose.

but because we have all kinds of users, this name resolution is now handled by DNS itself.

hope that makes it clearer for everyone here.

You can read more about the HOSTS file and its history and significance here:

Network Administration: The Hosts File - For Dummies

as regards the point that is it needed for IDM registration etc, no it is not needed for IDM, but this line in itself is needed for windows to work properly.

Where is 127.0.0.1 localhost added to that hosts?

[Supremo Phantom]

I guess you missed this part on that page: (important lines highlighted in red for your reference)

Prior to Windows 7, these lines were not commented out in the Hosts file. But beginning with Windows 7, the name resolution for localhost is handled by DNS itself, so its definition isn’t required in the Hosts file.

A Sample Hosts File

# Copyright © 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

i don't think we need to stretch this point any further...

bottomline is:

1. for "IDM" to work, this line is NOT needed, so users can just add the remaining lines as shared earlier into the HOSTS file and "IDM" will work

2. for "windows" to work, this line IS needed

3. starting windows 7, you don't need this line in the HOSTS file as DNS is now taking care of name/IP resolution for localhost

no offense meant to anyone, but lets just end this discussion about the localhost entry on this happy note as it is not related to the topic of IDM here.

hope its fine with everyone.

[dcs18]

Well, you seem to have realized that you were confused between #127.0.0.1 localhost (and) 127.0.0.1 localhost

They are 2 different things, altogether:--

#127.0.0.1 localhost is a sample belonging to the original hosts (see the # prefix.)

127.0.0.1 localhost that Roger and I were discussing (before your interjection) is an extra added entry (by Roger - ask him) - it is not required.

[dcs18]

Check out the screenshot at post # 8 to gain a better understanding.

[Supremo Phantom]

# is used for comments in the HOSTS file, so :

#127.0.0.1 localhost is a comment line (as I said earlier, it is now not really required in the hosts file because DNS manages it now, so they changed it to a comment), otherwise before windows 7 it was required and used as

127.0.0.1 localhost in the host file.

anyways, i guess networking and windows concepts are not your area, so lets just ignore it. A Microsoft and CISCO certified professional (like myself) would understand how windows and networking works, and what I meant to explain here, for all others, lets just say... its not needed for IDM and end it there. whatever makes you sleep better....

i am done explaining... thanks.

[dcs18]

There are 2 things that you clearly missed out on despite of being a self-confessed Microsoft and CISCO certified professional:--

• You did not know the difference between #127.0.0.1 localhost and 127.0.0.1 localhost
• You had no idea what Roger was discussing with me when you interjected

[Supremo Phantom]

1. Roger was asking about the importance of the line 127.0.0.1 localhost in the hosts file

you obviously have no clue about what 127.0.0.1 or localhost means in networking

2. i have already clearly explained the difference between #127.0.0.1 localhost and 127.0.0.1 localhost ....

it seems you are not mentally ready yet to read properly and understand... even the "Network Administration for Dummies" link i shared earlier is not simple enough for you to comprehend

it won't harm to confess that you don't know about how HOSTS file works in windows... try and see how host file used to be in XP, then you won't harp on the note that it is a sample...

if you read on how hosts entries work in windows, you would then know that there are ways to manage what you say here "(every extra entry that over-floods the hosts causes a time-lag in internet speed.)"

anyways, there is no point explaining how things work to someone who does not wish to learn, so you can continue to use the hosts method the way you do without really understanding what it does in the backend and why or how it works...

I hope at least Roger understood it correctly.
