Default Re: How can I stop myself from accessing one particular website?

Thanks, I'd forgotten you could do this. It doesn't seem to work though, I can still access the site. If I try to ping it in dos, it won't let me and maps the url to 0.0.0.0 but in ie and firefox it still works. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

There are lots of ways of course. Block it through the firewall, block it through the browser (don't think Firefox has this option though) and of course the HOST file. Be sure to reboot though for the HOST file to be effective.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

Open the file "host" using Notepad.

Add this line:

0.0.0.0 www.thesite.com
0.0.0.0 thesite.com

I have HOSTS in \Windows\System32\Drivers\etc btw. Also, my list of blocked sites all have 127.0.0.1 before them, not 0.0.0.0
