Thread: Block Sites with the help of Hosts File

I have small company. I want to block social networking, porn website using host file. I tried different method but none of them worked out for me. If you have any proper solution then let me know that. Thanks in advanced.

Blocking sites on your PC can look a costly plan if you are using 3rd party blocking software programs.

• Go to start>>All Programs>>Accessories."Open the Notepad program and Run as administrator.
• Click File, click Open and type C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc into the Open field. Click Enter to open that folder.
• Click on hosts and click "Open" to open your Windows hosts file.
• Type 127.0.0.1 www.orkut.com into the end of the hosts file to block the website www.orkut.com.
• Commit your changes to the hosts file by clicking File and after that clicking.
