uh no. mainly what my idea is when Dead Aim 4.1 comes out, i want to download it and a keygen, then block jdennis.net so it willnot keep reminding me about the serial

i already have norton corporate edition, but all it is is just a realtime virus protector/scanner, it does not have any options. i wanted to like edit this without downloading anything else

you would add a line like this:

127.0.0.1 jdennis.net

127.0.0.1 is the loopback address of your NIC, which means when something tries to resolve the domain name jdennis.net,
it will try to do it locally, which, of course, doesn't host jdennis.net....so the communication fails.

make a copy of hosts file, then follow my 2 links above from scratch. when ur done, just add 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0 (tab) and the site's name (confirm it's spelling first).

Note, u cannot mix 127.0.0.1 & 0.0.0.0 in HOSTS, EITHER OR, NOT BOTH.

in addition to above, use these from dos.

Who is listening? Use this syntax: netstat -an |find /i "listening"
Save who is listening to a text file: netstat -an |find /i "listening" > c:\openports.txt
Who is established? Use this syntax: netstat -an |find /i "established"
