the short an easiest answer for you
spstn is to do what i do and just put
desktop.kazaa.com and
www.kazaa.com and
www.brilliantdigital.com in the
REstricted Zones of your internet explorer and yes
if you wanted to really eliminate it you could
put them in your hosts file formated like this:
127.0.01 desktop.kazaa.com
or even use
0.0.0.0 www.kazaa.com
and or
127.0.0.1 www.brilliantdigital.com
or using the all 0's the
all Zero's tells your operating system that it is a phoney address and not to even bother trying to resolve the name to an address.
The 127.0.0.1 trick will take about 3secs approximately meaning ti will try to resolve it and cause a slight delay in your webpage loading as it trys to look for something which it won't find on your own computer.
So in some cases its best to use the
0.0.0.0 formatting
and remember please that this type of formatting shown
below in quotes WILL NOT WORK
Quote:
213.248.107.10 127.0.0.1
|
because the
213.248.107.10 is a
dotted-decimal ip address which means that your browser will not have to look up a translation for it in your hosts file as it is already understood by the computer as a valid internet address...
so it will not block a website if entered in the format shown above in the quotes.
