Hi, this is sort of related to firewalls. &nbsp;I want to modify an individual PC hosts file so that the user cannot access Yahoo Games (games.yahoo.com). &nbsp;When I try to add a selection to the hosts file that says<br />
<br />
127.0.0.1 games.yahoo.com &nbsp;<br />
<br />
but nothing happens (I can still access Games). &nbsp;I can successfully add a selection for yahoo.com but I don't want to restrict the user from using all of yahoo -- just games.yahoo.com. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
We do not have a proxy server and I do not want to modify firewall. &nbsp;Just want to restrict on this particular computer.<br />
<br />
Thanks!!<br />

Restrict access to Yahoo Games on individual PC using HOSTS file

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
