I had no problem until yesterday, but I'm unable to access this website.
I have done a ping on the web address and also on the URL number.

Please can anyone help me?

Thank you

That is the new IP that PeerBlock.com is at. The old web server has been removed from service. DNS has not been changed yet. I'm not sure how long it will be until that happens. Until then, the best I can do is provide the IP of the new web server.

Nothing at that location that is dangerous, so I guess it is ok.
But, I do not recommend the use of hosts files for this purpose since one can forget what is in then and cause all sorts of problems.
