SOLVED.
Thanks for all the help. Before I gave up, I decided to replace hosts file from another of my working computers. That did it. The hosts file was somehow corrupt on this system. I had moved to desktop several times and saved via Notepad ++ and VIM. Then moved back to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc directory. No joy. Syntax was exactly as all other working system.
