Alternatively, ipconfig /flushdns and then don't type an "n" inside
"cats" to make it "www.ca*n*tsncameras.com" like you did below when
trying to go to the site and you don't have to make modifications to an
obscure Windows file that requires reducing the security on Windows 6.0
and above and will bite you in the tail should the IP change in the
future and then obviously it will work because as you can see, the DNS
servers in question knew the correct answer, thus only putting a faulty
DNS cache in the way.
Eg., the DNS flush and DNS settings would be sufficient without the
hosts modification.
That run-on sentence brought to you by an extra letter N in the domain. ;)
