You should be given the option to choose the program to do this, choose notepad..

You should now see something like this

Type in 64.5.39.36

Make sure there is a space then type in ebid.net www.ebid.net uk.ebid.net meetup.ebid.net with a gap between each set of words if you are not in the UK, you will need to use your own countries version of uk.ebid.net for example us.ebid.net for the USA. Your file should now look like the one below, obviously without the red underlining.

Now save the file, close all the folders if they are still open,.

You should now be able to get in.
