How Do I Block A Site!

Hey say if like i wanted it that i could never access google no matter what from my computer
so if i open up IE and try accessing google.com it wouldnt load how do i do that?
The tools options privacy thing doesnt work.
Any ideas? A command anything not a program just something that stops access to that site full stop

 

Hrmmm....

One way to do this, is to edit your hosts table.

How does one do this?

Why, I'm happy you asked!

Simply migrate to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc

Next, open hosts

ADD the follwing to the end of hosts

127.0.0.1 www.google.com
127.0.0.1 google.com

click file, then save
Now TRY to browse to google

Side note, I tryed this on my own system. And what I typed above worked. So, you shouldn't have an issue.

Typically when a computer tries to establish how to resolve a name, they fist go to the host table. then LMhosts, then DNS.

Though, there is a registry entry that changes this. But, I won't reveal this.

 

Mate it dont work=(

 

OK.

Post your host table here. As an attachment.

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.

# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 hello.com
127.0.0.1 www.hello.com
127.0.0.1 http://www.hello.com
127.0.0.1 http://hello.com


it wont let me upload but there it is

 

Don't use http://. Remmber that its the host names we're looking for, not URLs.

Make sure you've got a tab between the 127.0.0.1 and the host name.

You can disable looking up in the HOSTS file, as previously stated, but its best to make sure that its all formatted correctly anyway before you go messing with settings like that.

Also, to conserve whitespace (so we can tell whether you typed a tab or not), use the [ code] tags
