Google suggests that the iPad is jail broken.... But I have no experience in that though, but this site might help

Make a backup of the hosts file, and remove that line 74.208.105.171 and then try again

According to google, that line is used to trick iTunes in thinking it is talking to the apple server when instead it is talking to the Cydia, which jail broken iPads etc talk to

On my netbook pc, my hosts file only has 127.0.0.1 localhost

But then again, I only use connect my iPad to my MacBook pro, but it looks like that line in your hosts file is what is causing the problem

same. i try what u told sir. it go fine when extracting but when it went to contact apple, the old ghost 3194 pop up again. good bye lenin.

it my host file is correct, it got 2 host file name in my dir, please see it.

Try moving the ics and umbrella ones onto the desktop temporarily and try again with just the hosts one, not sure what the ics and umbrella ones are for

If all else fails, only thing I can think of is try your local apple store, or use a different pc as it seems to be trying to connect to the Cydia store instead of the apple server on your pc

as a last resort I could email you my hosts file to try, mine only has '127.0.0.1 localhost' which is standard and on all pcs

sir please help. mail me your host name.

Make sure only the 'hosts' file is in the c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc folder and reboot the pc to make sure it is reading the new hosts file
