Did you seriously just blindly ping everyone whose name you saw in the repository? Have you got no manners?

@sametkrt hosts file is located at %windir%\system32\drivers\etc and the line for nfsuclient always looks like ps2nfs04.ea.com 127.0.0.1 to fix the problem there are several solutions: a) you edit the hosts file yourself by adding this line and ignore this warning b) you start nfsuclient as administrator so it can edit the hosts file for you without any warnings c) use kickstart netplay launcher instead -> http://nfsa.ca/f7903

Cool this works thanks a lot @Pelorojo

Note: hosts file cannot be overridden even when you run the app with admin privileges.
