I'm not much of a networking guru, but I'm needing to conduct an experiment to see why some RSLs are not loading on some client computers when they try to load a swf off of their intranet's server. I'm tempted to believe this is the result of their inability to access adobe.com to download the RSLs. However we have seen these same swfs work on other computers that are kept away from the Internet, and my theory here is that this is simply due to the RSLs being cached a while back inside of their Flash Players.
To test the theory, I'm wanting to completely block *.adobe.com from my computer, so as to avoid being able to download RSLs from their website. Then I want to completely uninstall, then reinstall Flash Player, then load the swf from one of our own servers.
I am NOT able to manipulate hardly any of our own networking at all. I can use Windows Firewall, but that doesn't appear to be able to block specific sites. I have tried adding this site to things like the Restricted Zone in IE, but I'm still able to visit the site just fine for some reason. There is no reason this should be so difficult.
Any ideas? Thanks!
3This won't actually block
*.adobe.com
, justadobe.com
. Blocking all subdomains in the hosts file will be tedious. – Darth Android – 2013-06-27T14:47:46.7701Doh, ofcourse. My mistake. Then only a real firewall solution will work, or as I already stated, disconnecting the cable. – R-D – 2013-06-27T14:51:56.323
Thanks, the hosts file thing worked. I couldn't just pull the cord out though, because I needed to connect to another computer still. – Panzercrisis – 2013-06-27T15:25:49.887
