How do you block Myspace?

[Kromis]

How do you block myspace.com? It's really annoying me how my sister keeps going on it and hogs the computer. No game for me ! Anyways, I saw a topic on this a few weeks ago and I tried searching for it but I couldn't find anything. I believe the topic was about a guy having two nieces and he wanted to block it from them. I read something about some 1.27.###:$$$ something something (some address) or something. But I'm not very technical with IP addresses and stuff. Not using a router. I need in-depth detail on how to stop this madness! Thank you!

the number u are looking for is 127.0.0.1 It is a loopback address.

Damn, doesn't work. I'm on wireless, BTW.

you can always use tools and then internet options and block it that way.

I was hoping I wouldn't have to resort to that. My sister may know how to unblock it that way. Actually, DOES know. She clears the myspace history so parents don't know.
