Open "HOSTS" [x:\windows\, /etc/hosts]
Remap the previous servers to address 127.0.0.1
Now whenever your computer gets a request for that "named" server it should get bounced to the local computer [127.0.0.1]... this should theoretically work...
So Im not sure *quite* what directory it's in.... But navigate to C:\WINDOWS and hit ctrl-F to find a file... Search for all files and folders [including hidden ones, check advanced options] for a file called "HOSTS"... Open it with just notepad... or something similar... a very basic editor...
Inside you should see shit *SIMILAR BUT NOT EXACTLY THE SAME* as this:
##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 ads.pubmatic.com
127.0.0.1 ads.pubmatic.org
127.0.0.1 m1.2mdn.net
127.0.0.1 m2.2mdn.net
127.0.0.1 2mdn.net
127.0.0.1 spe.atdmt.com
127.0.0.1 doubleclick.net
127.0.0.1 ads.doubleclick.net
This file *manually* tells your computer what server name resolves to what IP address. It's format is:
[IP ADDRESS] [DNS NAME]
So what we do...
*pause for maniacal laughter*
is map all the ad servers to the unchangeable network loopback address also known as 127.0.0.1 ... or localhost....
So we tell the computer that itself is the adserver... Of course your computer is *not* an adserver- so it just shows up blank... or possibly as a broken image link... depending on your browser.
it works.
