Hosts File Ignored

I am working on building a website that requires that I use the hosts file on my local machine to redirect to an assigned IP address. It works fine on any network but Hughesnet. It seems that Hughesnet must have its own DNS that is overriding the local hosts file. It there any way around this? Thank you all for you help!
  • The HT2000w uses a transparent proxy to fetch and load websites, this may interfear with some browsers loading pages based on local host files.

    I suggest disabling Web Acceleration, then flush your DNS cache, and see if that helps.
