ok, this is really simple, but it depends on your OS. navigate to the following folder; XP Pro; c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts XP Home; c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts Vista; C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc in there, there should be a file called "hosts". open it up in notepad, and skip to the end. put in; 78.47.99.206 www.aspiesforfreedom.comsave it. for Vista, save to the desktop, then drag it in. MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT SAVE WITH AN EXTENSION; REMOVE THE BIT THAT SAYS .TXT. or you can be lazy: evilzakkie.proboards58.com/index.cgi?board=support&action=display&thread=22and it's fixed =D |

oh, a further clarification.
you may get a virus warning, or your firewall blocking it. you'll have to turn off the protection; disconnect from the internet first.

I tried a different method... instead of going to aspiesforfreedom.com, I went to 78.47.99.206/forums.phpThat took me to the AFF forums. |

I tried the fix and it didn't work for me. I have vista. The only thing I didn't do was save it (the code I copied?) to desktop. I don't know how to save something that is not a file to the desktop. I am obviously missing something here. Help! Save the notepad to the desktop then drag it in to hosts? arg! I give up!
