...hosts file ...
....that never seemed to do anything on my machinee.g. block content from the
out of date list of domain names from mvps.org :-) ....WHAT exactly should be the first line in the hosts file 127.0.0.1 localhost ....do i have to change "localhost" to be something to do with my computer e.g. my computer name , or change it to something to do with my ISP. As is obvious I don't know anything about networking but, I keep coming back to the hosts file, and having another fiddle, becuase I would like to block the banner ads. from bluestreak, doubleclick and tangozebra and so on. TIA, regards, Richard p.s. I HAVE got a check in the box "Bypass proxy server for local addresses" because MY DUN connection has proxy settings:- http://www-cache.freeserve.com port 8080 http://www-cache.freeserve.com port 8080 in the HTTP: and FTP: slots.
