@t0mm13b you're spot on! In my case it was the permissions. chmod 644 /system/etc/hosts sorted it out

can you do this - ls -l /etc/hosts, possibly permissions/ownership problem?

| Jul 7, 2012 at 9:53 | comment | added | Arjan | Just curious: what if you do it the other way around, and set a well-know domain (or some advertisement site) to become localhost instead? Does it fail to load that then? And is it really such short domain name like used in your example? (Not-so-fun-fact: Internet Explorer stopped accepting cookies for two-letter domains. Of course, unrelated to your problem, but maybe short domain names have other odd limitations in some browsers? I guess not though.) | |
