HOSTS File Has Been Updated
It never works for me, I dropped it in the etc (using XP) folder ages ago,
and fiddled and tweaked for AGES, scoured the web, tweaked the lmhosts setting, imported to lmhosts and so on.... in my DUN settings and so on ....spent hours and hours on it. Bloody waste of time. That's not to say it isn't a good thing but, it just will not work on my machine, and several others with W98se in'em as well, by the way. The very first time I used it, is seemed to be working because the banner ad. at the top of my ISP's home page, (injected from doubleclick.net), and where the banner should have been was a "content blocked" message, but, next visit to the home page after that the banner ad. was back. Tried completely blocking cookies, constantly exiting IE6 to delete cookies and tif and so on. Set "empty tif on IE6 exit" to speed things up while whistling around and so on. I just pasted www.netpond.com (a web address in the hosts file) and it couldn't have been directed to 127.0.0.1 localhost because the site just page loaded in my IE6 browser window ! I've had the same thing on three W98 machines using dial up internet connections. I thought it might be to do with proxy settings, particularly the "Bypass proxy for local connections," which is ticked when a DUN is created online with my ISP ...anyway I tried all that in the past and gave up. Now if someone could point me at a comprehensive list of settings, or site with similar..., XP services that must be on, W98 environment settings / essentials for the hosts file to work and so on, that would be marvellous. regards, Richard "Hugh Candlin" wrote in message ...
