You will find it in c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc .. it has no file extension, but you ought to be able to open it with Notepad. If there is a lot of stuff in there, it can start to block the working of the OS. If you dare to clean it out, make sure loacalhost at 127.0.0.1 stays in. It's the local loopback for Windows. Although I don't have a clue why changing the date then makes it work.
