BLOCKING WEBSITES

wow

Its long before I posted. Sorry for I have been working on a very important project

 

I was to post on how to block websites from your computer.

If you want to protect your computer users from accessing some sites just do this:

open this directory

c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc

 

here you will find a file called "hosts." open the file in Notepad. (NB: its not the hosts.ics file)

Scroll down to the line that reads

 

127.0.0.1       localhost

Now we want to block a website called www.google.com

 just below the 127.0.0.1 line add this line

 

127.0.0.1    www.google.com

 

then save your file and exit. Go to your browser and try to visit the site.

 

NB: seperate 127.0.... and the site name with TAB

      Continue adding a single line for every website

 

what happens: The system tries to redirect the website to address 127.0.0.1 which is the IP address of each and every Windows PC with or without a NIC

 

Chao..

Changing IP Addresses the Fast Way.

Hi all,

 Today we we look on how to save time when changing network settings. This might be useful if you keep on changing IP addresses for internet connection as per your ISP specification. May be your laptop from office to your home and vise versa.

 

Click Start>Run and type cmd >Ok

To save the current settings:

type netsh -c dump > officesettings.txt and press enter

or when at home netsh -c dump > homesettings.txt

Now to retrieve and fix the settings to the NIC. example in the office, type:

netsh -f officesettings.txt

 

Thanks till next time
