Ok here it is starting
First step is to prepare your self [ Prepare Site list ]
- Now go to Start and go to Run
- Type Following address/path c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS [please make sure your current/working window installation is on which drive Replace c: with ur windows installtion drive]
- Now open this file in Notepad/Wordpad/Any othe text editor you want
- Note that this is Host file of windows where you can specify the IP address of a Domain
- So now main work come [ I'm taking example to blocking the orkut ]
type following in the last lines of that file
127.0.0.1 orkut.com
127.0.0.1 www.orkut.com
the above will specify orkut.com or www.orkut.com with an IP address of 127.0.0.1 i.e the domain name of orkut will be resolved as 127.0.0.1
- Now the most Important thing is to save that file :-D
- now open command prompt [ Start -> Run -> CMD ]
- Type following command
ipconfig /flushdns
the above command will flush the DNS cache on ur machine
- Now do following command on command prompt
ping orkut.com
It will show the following
pinging orkut.com [127.0.0.1] with 32 bytes of data
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
Reply from 127.0.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128
if it is shown its IP address else then 127.0.0.1 then ur setting might be wrong [ In that case you can contact me by leaving a comment here ]
- Now we are in final stage of our tutorial
open you web browser and u will be unable to open the website you blocked
