How to IP-Block Websites
I need a way to ip-block websites.

The reason is simple: Just don't want my bro on certain sites, and to just be mean to him. I know that Peerguardian works but not so great as its HTTP blocking goes blocking sites left and right. Any other alternative?

RE: How to IP-Block Websites
If it's just websites, probably better to block the DNS than the IP.  Simple method is to stick an entry in the hosts file (<system32 dir>\drivers\etc in Windows).

Add a line like this:

Code:
127.0.0.1    blockedsite.com


After that, flush your DNS cache (Start » Run » ipconfig /flushdns » Enter).

Still doesn't work. I tried both ways. This is my hosts file.

Quote:127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com
24.28.193.9   meebo.com

Still doesn't work =\ What the hell am I doing wrong? I can still access the site.

not sure if it really matters, but use a tab, not a space

RE: How to IP-Block Websites
You edited the right file right?

Under .../windows/system32/drivers/etc. should be the "hosts" file, without extension. Not the hosts.msn or hosts.ics or whatever.

Copy/paste these entries to it after the localhost entry.
127.0.0.1
	
activate.adobe.com
127.0.0.1
	
meebo.com

Save it as hosts (without any extension)

Oh yeah, and as zinga said, kill your DNS cache. Also kill your temporary internet cache, in case the site got stored into that.

If you did all that correctly, don't know why it wouldn't work. I do that kind of stuff all the time, to block my sister off poo poo like neopets and block random ad sites.
