Thanks for an interesting update, Jack!

Quite an achievement from Music City - especially as Morpheus has done all of its growing with a very 'low profile' compared to Napster which got plenty of attention from the mainstream media. People have found Morpheus on their own and with the help of each other, and should Morpheus go down or commercial, people will no doubt be able to reorganize themselves into a similar huge community around other some other p2p software. Cheers to p2p revolution!

Peri, look for hosts. file (no filename extension) from your c:\windows folder (in NT and W2000 the folder is c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc). If you don't have such a file, you will find a file called hosts.sam - this is a sample file that you can copy as hosts. to the same folder.

Open hosts. file with notepad. You should find from there at least the following line:

127.0.0.1 localhost

Just below this line, add line

127.0.0.1 ads.musiccity.com

and save the file.

The addition you made will make your computer think that the ads.musiccity.com site resides actually in your own computer, hence Morpheus will not try to reach it (and its advertisements) from Internet.
