Re: ebay host file

1. Use notepad (or any text editor), open your existing hosts file (located in %windir%\system32\drivers\etc or %windir%\ or /etc/ depending on your O/S).

2. Append the following entries to the existing file:

127.0.0.1 ebay.com
127.0.0.1 www.ebay.com
127.0.0.1 my.ebay.com
127.0.0.1 signin.ebay.com


3. Save the modified file.

Re: ebay host file

A hosts file only works if your not using any external proxies.

Re: ebay host file

Then there is quite a bit of information missing about the operating system, and network setup.... It sounds like you work in IT, and there are quite a few ebay sites to block...

If you had to create the hosts file because it didn't exist, then you'll need to reboot. After that any future changes made to it won't require a reboot.

Re: ebay host file

youll need to flush dns cache as well. A simple right click repair on the network question will do that for you.

I had a host file set up to block ads long ago and had a heck of a time making it work then i had some silly connection isue ip addy would not show up so right click repair and sure enough hosts file started workign as well.
