Edit the "hosts" file in c:\windows or c:\winnt (create it if it doesn't exist, note that it has no extension). Add this line:

Code:

somedomain.com 127.0.0.1

What OS (not sure if this is for NT4.0 only or not but what I do is edit my 'Hosts' file. Just do a find for Hosts, open it in your text editor and add a line to it like so:
127.0.0.1 ads.x10.com
now anytime you try to access that address you get page cannot be found.

Mine too.... well C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc... I upgraded from windows 98 because I don't have the full version of 2K, just the upgrade and I didn't want to take up extra space having dual boot with Win98 and 2K.

It's not even in a /etc folder? I though /etc/hosts was the original BSD location of the file, with MS's TCP/IP implementation being similar to BSD's.
