Hi,
>>
Eg:
WWW.moneycontrol.comwhile loading it loads 202.87.40.47 but i have entries in the hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 202.87.40.47
>>
You can't use the HOSTS file to block requests made directly to the IP address (i.e. http:/202.87.40.47/xxxx in IE will go through)
If your objective is to block requests to
www.moneycontrol.com then the HOSTS entry should be:
127.0.0.1
www.moneycontrol.comHTH,
