[stunnel-users] Re (2): Problems with stunnel and cox.net on Windows 7

[Carter Browne]

You should check your hosts file in \windows\system32\drivers\etc.

Make sure it has an entry:

127.0.0.1    localhost

The text claims it doesn't need it, but it doesn't hurt to have it, and 
I'm not sure I totally believe the text.
