Restricting sites?
 

How do I restrict certain websites from being accessed on my pc?

depends on your operating system (sorta).....but

see attached image

Using XP home.
I tried the Internet options, secrity, restrict site, typed in site address, but it still comes up.

theres another option too...

i'm not familiar with Xp sorry...

but in general all pc's are set up

to accomodate multiple users

each with there own individual settings

and their own log on identity....

then you as administrator can set

the permissions...best bet is to open

the help section type in "parental controls"

anything highlighted in blue is a link-up

Software options
 

to give you an idea....

you might wanna boogy on down to best buy and buy a third party software designed to make it fairly effortless....

The latest version of Norton Internet security has settings to pick and choose what sites are accecptable.

Fairly easy to use as well.

Thanks, I'll check that out.

If you're looking for a pretty solid child protection application, I've found the Cyber Patrol software to work pretty well...but it's pricey.

I just want to keep the kids off that Myspace site, heard a lot of bad stuff about it. I'll try the Norton security first. Thanks.

Fishaholic18...your right on the money there. I am associated with someone who notified a local school district of what was taking place on the site and even they were amazed. There were actually a couple of young female teachers that listed thier likes and dislikes on the MYSPACE.com. What some of the kids put there was outrageous. Pictures, phone numbers, and listed addresses with statements like I have to have it five times a day. Mom and dad must have been proud of that.

final thought
 

when using the web browser firefox...ok

theres a extension you can download that displays the IP addy
for any site you surf to...
making it quite easy to make a note of a site's ip addy
and add it to -> the no fly zone. :btu:
