Websites redirecting websites help please!
« Topic Start: June 09, 2009, 12:43:49 AM »
Hey, at work, I sit on laptops and update software, inserting cds whenever it says. So when it does that I usually surf the web. I was surfing WNFF and my co-worker/boss who jokes with me alot, turned the computer away and did something in notepad that directs wnff.net to maxipads :P

The thing is, it says wnff.net uptop but its the tampon site. How do I fix this so I can copy and send it to that computer.

He said if I fix it he wont change it again :lol:

help! I am able to get here with an anonymous proxy but I need to fix this :P

It seems that the site is thinking its another site.

the header reads wnff.net but the website displays something else.

Pretty sure he edited your hosts file that points wnff.net to another site.

Yeah browse to c/windows/system 32/drivers/etc and find the hosts file.  Open it in notepad and see if he there is a line that has wnff.net on it.

Yes it did. He went to a website that gets the sites IP to match wnff.net with that IP.

I deleted it and it worked. Thanks again
