Below is an example of my hosts file found in the \Windows directory in Win9x and \Windows\System32\Drivers\etc (why I will never know) in 2k & XP. I don't know that there would be a lot to gain on a local network. The risk in using this method is if an IP changes then strange things could happen eg. you might end up at an unusual site. # Created by Hostess 2.10 on 09/29/2002 23:33:00 #*********************************************** # # Before adding these # entries to your hosts file, please visit # www.smartin-designs.com/hosts_info.htm # # Known problem sites can be found in the # #Not for everyone Section # # #*********************************************** 127.0.0.1 localhost 202.89.128.27 pop.qsi.net.nz 202.27.208.242 pop.contact.net.nz 210.48.100.45 pressf1.pcworld.co.nz 212.100.234.54 www.theregister.co.uk ......These resolve the IP bypassing 195.27.247.203 www.shortnews.com ..........the DNS server 209.240.133.249 www.aardvark.co.nz 63.236.73.20 linuxtoday.com 69.56.255.194 www.theinquirer.net 206.14.107.141 www.infoworld.com 127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net 127.0.0.1 ads.com.com 127.0.0.1 promo.search.com.com ......These block the site by 127.0.0.1 www.shortwin.com ............resoving to the local PC 127.0.0.1 ads.com.com 127.0.0.1 ad.uk.doubleclick.net 127.0.0.1 ad.nz.doubleclick.net |
