err... that's not going to help by itself. that gives the same effect as the actions of his admins. with that hosts file, mozilla will look for the doubleclick server at 127.0.0.1, and, unless you have a web server running on your machine, you'll get a popup telling you it couldn't reach the server. i guess you could replace "127.0.0.1" in the above with the address of the corporate web site or something, so mozilla will give 404 errors in the page instead of the annoying popups. or you could install some kind of simple web service on your machine. but i agree that the popups can be annoying. one site i visit has an image with a typo in the tag. IE and netscape 4 just ignore it silently, but mozilla insists on popping up an error to tell me it can't reach the site. this would, i think, be fixed by one of the most-duped and most-voted bugs, http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28586 -- michael
