Either way, you might try turning the webserver on your MacBook on and setting the .htaccess file to send an empty string of text in place of a 404 error. Be sure to set the firewall to block incoming requests to port 80.
I'll try turning on the web server. Here's a snippet of my hosts file:
Quote:
##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
#
# Reminder from Brad:
# on 10.3 and up, run "lookupd -flushcache" after making changes
#
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
# begin the blockage!
0.0.0.0 www.doubleclick.net
0.0.0.0 ad.doubleclick.net #remove this for atomfilms problems
0.0.0.0 ad.preferences.com
0.0.0.0 ads.doubleclick.com
Edit: turns out the issue is because my web server was on and I needed to turn it off. This isn't an issue on my Mini though. Is this because of changes in Leopard?
