hai i am using microsfot proxy server 2.0. i should have to restrict a particular user in accesing a certain website please help me

I also have Proxy Server 2(not much longer though) and there is now way to block and individual user from a specific site. If you have access to their PC(assuming they always log on at the same one) then you could drop a text file called hosts into the relevant directory:- Win95,98, or ME, place it in your Windows directory. This is normally C:\Windows WinNT or 2000, place it in winnt\system32\drivers\etc This is normally C:\WinNT\System32\Drivers\Etc Windows XP, place it in \windows\system32\drivers\etc This is normally C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc The file should follow the following format:- 127.0.0.1 localhost # 123Banners 127.0.0.1 123banners.com 127.0.0.1 control.123banners.com 127.0.0.1 ftp.123banners.com 127.0.0.1 ftp.control.123banners.com 127.0.0.1 www.123banners.com If the user attempts to visit one of the URLs they get nowhere.

i try these but it wont work

please explain this situation in an exampel way so that i can abel to understand. whether i should have to place this file in my server or in my client.

The file called hosts (NO extension) goes on the user's PC in the appropriate folder as mentioned above. If fo example you wanted to block access to www.junksite.com the hosts file would look like:- 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 www.junksite.com etc etc If you want more info on host files do a search in www.google.com there are someuseful references there.

hai i followed ur method but it was not succeded. i enter the details in hosts file in my client system. but still the same problem occurs. i will tell the steps that i performed i put an entry in hosts file like 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 www.yahoo.com i saved this file still the user can able to access the yahoo website i do know where i made the mistake for exampel i want to restrict google website for my user what should i have to do please tell me in detail steps so that i can do it correctly
