RE: Google won't load.
A windows hosts file should look like this:
code:
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

127.0.0.1       localhost

127.0.0.1       google.com
The last line is one which I added as an example. With that there, programs will think that the IP address for google.com is 127.0.0.1 (which is always your your own computer. When I try to load http://google.com/, the browser will try to contact a server on my own computer, and since there isn't one, will return an error that the server couldn't be contacted. Instead of 127.0.0.1 there could be another IP address.
