wondering how to enable blocked chat in gmail ??

Block access to web based chat messengers and IM like gtalk , msn or yahoo in your office without blocking the whole site itself using the Hosts file.

imageFor example in iGoogle there is an option to add these messenger modules(gtalk,msn,hotmail & yahoo). And with this trick you can block only these Messengers but not the whole IGOOGLE itself.

First of all,Open the hosts file located in C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc with your notepad.Add these following lines in the hosts file and save it.

127.0.0.1 localhost

127.0.0.1 chatenabled.mail.google.com

127.0.0.1 httpcs.msg.yahoo.com

Bang you are done !!!

msn_messenger_blocked More messengers can be blocked by adding the server address of the messengers to this file.With this the Gtalk module in the Gmail page is also blocked.
