Some of you may have experienced this sometime.
When hosting a LAN FDS when there is NO internet connection available
you'll notice that the FDS takes a loooong time to startup.
This is because it tries to connect to master.gamespy.com for
some weird reason.
To fix this open your hostsfile located in (usually) C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
with notepad and add the following line:

127.0.0.1 master.gamespy.com

Now the FDS will startup straight away.
