It was previously mentioned that you need to disconnect from the internet or edit Host Files so ross-tech.com cannot detect the 3rd party cable.
Here is a
how to for anyone wanting to edit the host file.
Host file is under:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
Double Click Hosts, and open in Notepad. Should look like this:
Code:
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 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
127.0.0.1 localhost
All you do is add:
Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 www.ross-tech.com
This can be checked by visiting
www.ross-tech.com, you will see it doesnt load.
If like me you still want to be able to see the website when not using VCDS, just put a "#" infornt of the line, and it cancels it out.
Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost
#127.0.0.1 www.ross-tech.com
What i done is created a shortcut to "Hosts" and placed it in Start>All Programs>VAG-COM folder, so that i can quickly find the Hosts file when i want to diable the site, and use VAG-COM.
Also, am i right in thinking the cable on #36 Is the one people are buying? Its just it is different to the one mentioned on post #8.
