A charity I do free work for wants to block traffic to some websites

I've tried putting the web addresses into the firewall program, but
then it blocks all of them. They want to either block these activities
or at the very minimum monitor them and prove what is going on.

Can anyone reccomend anything?

k8 child protection software, it is free for domestic use, but it might not
be free for these purposes. The software is excellent, and you can choose
how tough or lose it should be. You can put in specific sites, or specific
catagories, very easy to use and works on pretty much anything that can boot
up XP.

Hi People,

thanks for the help and info. I will try some of the suggestions. The
computer users have full administration priveleges on their machines,
but I guess they've been abusing that too much recently, as I've been
told to alter that too!

Not sure what a HOSTS file is, but will google. I dont want them to
see any level of protection on their machines, short of, they go to a
website, and hey presto, it is blocked. Should one of those *lovely*
pages be hosted on one of the clear machines rather than the internet?
