Block Websites in WindowsXP  

Block Websites in WindowsXP(without any software)

Steps


1] Browse C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
2] Find the file named "HOSTS"
3] Open it in notepad
4] Under "127.0.0.1 localhost" Add 127.0.0.2 www.orkut.com , and that site will no longer be accessable.
5] Done!

example :

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.2 www.orkut.com

- www.orkut.com is now unaccessable


For every site after that you want to add, just add "1" to the last number in the internal ip (127.0.0.2) and then the addy like before.

IE:
127.0.0.3 www.yahoo.com
127.0.0.4 www.msn.com
127.0.0.5 www.google.com

This also works with banner sites, just find the host name of the server with the banners and do the same thing with that addy.

Hope this small tutorial could keep you going in simple way of blocking websites

Axioms for a Great Living(My 10 Hashes):

#Don't compare yourself with any one in this world;If you compare, you are insulting yourself!

#No one will manufacture a lock without a key;Similarly God won't give problems without solutions!

#When life gives you 1000 reasons to cry,show the world that you can still find a million reasons to smile!

#Easy is to judge the mistakes of others;Difficult is to recognize our own mistakes!

#Don't care about what others think of what u do;but care very much about what u think of what u do!

#No one can go back and change a bad beginning;But anyone can start now and create a successful ending!

#If a problem can be solved, no need to worry about it;If a problem cannot be solved what is the use of worrying?!

#If you miss an opportunity don't fill the eyes with tears;It will hide another better opportunity in front of you!

#Don't complain about others;Change yourself if you want peace!(It is easier to protect your feet with slippers than to cover the earth with carpet!)

#Be bold when you loose & be calm when you win!
