Use the Edit|Find command to look for "MSN" or XTRAMSN. If there is an entry in there in the form. 127.0.0.1 MSN.com or similar, then put a # in front of that line and save the file. |

I prefer to grab a large one and make adjustments than create my own. I was wondering why I couldn't go and find out some info on JetStream through Xtra. 127.0.0.1 xtra.co.nz was the offending entry. In this case the creators of the hosts file were not from NZ but also decided to block it as well. They'd probably had too much spam from that domain or something. The other way is that some people are just annoying ]:) That reminds me. I should go throw some in on the computer downstairs: looneytunes.com; warnerbrothers.com; harrypotter.com ;) *hears loud screaming* "Jerry why can't I play my games and watch my movies anymore" me: oh well, you'll just have to get off the internet and let me visit the forums again. :) ........... grumbles off moaning about stupid 6 minute to load flash animations :( |
