Blocking Websites Using Hosts File

[mur38]

In Win7 you may need to open notepad as admin with elevated privileges before using it to open and change the hosts file, then save the modified result as, 'save as'-'hosts' -'all files'.

Mine won't let me save when I edit the file

Error comes up and tells me I cannot create the Hosts file;

"Make sure the path and file name are correct"

HELP!

Cheers

How do you get the ip for websites?

[cubanomx2]

you don't need the ip for the websites. You only need to use the local loopback address 172.0.0.1 or 127.1.1.1
