Re: fool windows into thinking it has internet access

Good question, as on my squid proxy I have whitelisted all of the Adobe URLs needed for Adobe cc

On windows clients, to even open the Adobe cc app, it needs internet access, now as this pc is on a production network, it can't have internet access so I have fooled it and now I can open the cc app

No, but you could add that name, either to the machine which wants to contact
it, or to your local DNS server, so that it resolves to something on your
network (or localhost if you prefer).

Out of interest, what is the purpose for making a Windows computer think it
has Internet access when it doesn't?  What useful difference does that make?
