Restrict internet with HOSTS not working

I've got a PC that I only want the user to access a limited number of web sites.  I edited the c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file as follows (example):

207.46.156.220   www.microsoft.com

then I took out the DNS server addresses on tcp/ip

this worked on one PC but not on another.  It works on some web sites, but not on others (for example, I can't get it to work on microsoft.com, but can get it to work with some insurance-related web sites.  I know this is the right IP address, so why doesn't it work consistently?

Thanks
