Mike-Bracknell, thanks again, I think I may have a clue now. This machine is actually second hand and the owner was an avid photographer. Perhaps he had entered some Adobe details in the hosts file. I certainly haven't. So in fact those details were sort of linked to an address no longer in use?
Cheers.
MM, just noticed your posting and the above sort of answers your query as to who may have made the edit. Thanks!
