fucking ARG.
 

ok, does anyone know if software firewalls cut out certain images from webpages and stuff? to my knowledge, it shouldn't, but i'm also running 3 software firewalls... (no pop stopper or anything)

just curious.

sorry

i thought the topic was fucking ARS

my thread decoder isnt working.

:helpme

hey Fletch

long time bro'

how's the new year treating you?

i think i heard a while ago that kazaa or kazaa lite has an ad blocker. Could it be it?

no, not running kazaa. it's installed, but i haven't used it in months... i can't find anything else that would be installed, except for some pesky virus thing that seems benign i can't get rid of (and scan doesn't find). when i installed kazaa, i left it pretty bare. maybe that's it tho, i just can't find anything actually *running*.

i've just been getting a lot of images (not necessarily from sites i know well enough) that don't show up, and i don't know if its their problem or mine. maybe just an outbreak of people that don't know how to run their servers or something.

if you're using norton internet security

go to options... then advanced options then the privacy tab

there should be a browsing privacy referer option that is blocked by default. change that to permit and everything should be good to go... i used to have the same problem

check it out.. hope it helps

no firewall should stop images from loading unless in your ruleset you are blocking the ip that they are coming from i suppose.

C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\

open the file named "host" in a text editor and make sure it's not associating any outside ip's or domains with 127.0.0.1

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 z.extreme-dm.com
127.0.0.1 z0.extreme-dm.com
127.0.0.1 pop3.norton.antivirus
127.0.0.1 pop3.spa.norton.antivirus
127.0.0.1 www.altnetp2p.com
127.0.0.1 www.bonzi.com
127.0.0.1 www.brilliantdigital.com

is really all you need to bind to 127.0.0.1

hrm.. i don't see any blockage really. i don't run norton internet security, but thought about it. is that a good app?

used to use mcafee online, thought that was pretty nice, i should subscribe again. oh well.

it's only binding localhost to 127.0.0.1... what are the others for..?
