Blocking web sites

[bigguns7]

What about NetNanny?

what version of windows are you running?

That's not working either TP... It just says Restricted site at the bottom, but it doesn't as for a password to access the site. The way fakeuserid said to do it WORKS, but it asks for a password for EVERY site, not just the one I listed as restricted.

I'm on windows 2000 Professional

Did you try my suggestion?

 

[Code]

Download the web browser Mozilla.
It's easy to block sites, cookies, ads and images from certain sites.


www.mozilla.org

you could try making a lmhosts file that points to disney.com for the domain you dont want them to be abele to visit. this would give them an error when they try to access that site.

there is a text file called C:\WinNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

open that up

In that file, you'd put, one per line: 127.0.0.1 <hostname you want to block>

example:

127.0.0.1 www.disney.com
127.0.0.1 www.whitehouse.gov

this works because windows checks lmhosts before dns. good luck.

nope..that didn't work.,..well, it actually blocked EVERYTHING...now it's asking for the password for every site rather than just the site I entered.

that way works..i. did yesterday to keep my sister from goin on here and readin my shit.....the reason is blocking everyone is because you have to uncheck the "users cant see unrated sites" box in the general tab in the content advisor properties.

Sorry to be obtuse here (but I am....so bare with me)...I don't see a box that says "users cant see unrated sites" under the General tab.
