If you have recently upgraded to 10.6, this resets the hosts file so may have broken the alias. Either go back to the original etc/hosts file and create a new alias or edit the hosts file via terminal command $ sudo nano /private/etc/hosts

Thanks Milvus, forgot to say already tried that, tried in Root as well, just get -bash: $: command not found. Really annoying, I'm having to use little snitch, which is like cracking a nut with a sledge hammer
