HOST file not blocking websites.

Pooh Bear
15 years ago

I normally use the HOST file to block websites.

I entered a few websites on my son's computer

but when I when I tested them it still let me access them.

I tried running the nbstat -R command from the Run box.

I don't remember why I did that, read it somewhere I think.

Using the HOST file to block sites works fine on my computer.

But not on his. When I had his computer it worked fine for me.

But now that he has it (hand me down) it doesn't work.

What am I missing here. (besides brain cells).

Windows XP home edition sp2 + all updates (not sp3)
