A friend has asked me how to block facebook from a computer & I read some place where its a router setting? Is that true?? TIA

Blocking a website for ALL users is easy. Exit your email program and any browser

using an admin login, get a command prompt

cd \windows\system32\drivers\etc
attrib -r hosts
notepad hosts

at a minimum you will see

#
127.0.0.1 localhost
#

anywhere below the line reading LOCALHOST, you add

# kill these websites
127.0.0.1 facebook.com
127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com
#

make sure there is at least one space (or tab) between the address and the domain name

save the file

run the following

• attrib +r hosts
• ipconfig /flushdns
• net stop "dns client"
• net start "dns client"

from then on, no one (including the admin) can access facebook.com

Thank you, will let my friend know
