All the big powers they've silenced me. So much for free speech and choice on this fundamental human right, and outing the liars.

    ^^

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

    Open HOSTS with text editor (notepad) and type in:

    127.0.0.1 <tab> bebo.com

    Underneath

    127.0.0.1 <tab> Localhost

    Then save the file, restart and test.

    <tab> = press the tab key

    Ahhh but if someone types 92.123.154.9 into IE/Firefox/Chrome etc you can still get at it. Better to restrict access to 92.123.154.9 using your firewall.:cool:
