Well, that is one way... If you don't mind setting up squid you can use it with a redirecter (there are several out there; I found references to them using www.google.com and search words similar to "squid redirector ad blocker"). I think there are smaller proxies that are intended just for this purpose, so maybe squid is far beyond anything you might need. Basically, those programs change all references to any site on their list to a transparent gif, or a "this ad blocked" image.. :) Much nicer than mucking with /etc/hosts :) -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ Hate spam?
