Did you make sure you used a "right-click -> save as" when downloading the
patches?  I should probably throw up a little download script so it doesn't try
to open the patches in the browser.  (If you copy and paste from the browser
window it will mangle the line feeds in the patch).

That should work, it's probably that the patch is mangled.

No, you do not need to edit your /etc/hosts or the registry either.  If you've
edited your /etc/hosts you should* be able to edit it back, usually something
that looks like this:
127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.1.1       your_computer_hostname

* I have a report of a problem with the automatic IP detection.  It works for
me, but if the game crashes on launch then you'll need to put your IP in the
/etc/hosts file.

Online or over a LAN?  The game should work on the Internet without any
patches...
