Hi Denis,

I had a look at the DNS entries again, and found a whole range of new ones which I will add.

They look like this: 0.38.channel.facebook.com.

If anyone knows how to add a wildcard to the hosts file that would be great… something like *.38.channel.facebook.com

Will update the list shortly, and hopefully this will fix the upload and chat…

Iam having a problem with saving the hosts file. It won’t let me replace the hosts file in etc. It said it “cannot create the c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file. Make sure that the path and file name are correct”
Any idea?
Thanks guys!!

Hi Izzy,

I am currently in Hue, Vietnam. I am having trouble accessing Facebook, which I greatly require since I teach English over here. All my contacts and advisers are on FB , and proxy sites will not work. How can I fix this so that I can access FB, free?

If possible, can you type out the command I would need to use.

My system is WINDOWS VISTA.

Please let me know, ASAP.

Yes it is for my PC at work, and no I am not able to install third party software. So, I take it that without the administrative access, I will not be able to unblock these sites, correct?

You need to add these to your host file as well, and it should give you access to those sites providing it is just blocked via dns.

Hi Jimmy,

It is going to be extremely difficult to unblock these sites without administrative access to your machine unfortunately. What is your situation? Is this at a workplace or uni/school or something? Are you even able to install third party software on the machine?

Sorry, these are the websites that I want to have access to

yahoo.com
lakers.com
dodgers.com
espn.com

But I do not have authority (i am not the administrator) to modify the folder c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Hi All!

As mentioned above in the block quote I have made a php script that automatically grabs the correct IPs for a facebook host file each time you refresh the page.

This should save you waiting for me to update it every once in a while that it changes.

Let me know how you go.
