It's common knowledge that MS has sabotaged Windows OS DNS host lookup on MS machines. For those that don't know, if you try to edit the windows hosts file to alter the IP address of most Microsoft domains, you can't. Example, try adding the following to a Windows machine hosts file, and you will find that the hosts file is ignored for these domains:
127.0.0.1 msn.com 127.0.0.1 msdn.com 127.0.0.1 microsoft.com 127.0.0.1 windowsmedia.com 127.0.0.1 microsoftupdate.com 127.0.0.1 windowsupdate.com There are many more that MS has sabotaged, this is just a few. I have tried using the Endian 'Edit Hosts' GUI but I can not enter the domain name without also entering a host name for the domain. I have even tried using the content filter black list. How can I stop access to these types of sites? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Can-not-block-access-to-Microsoft-tf2636118.html#a7357722 Sent from the efw-user mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
