Install Zone Alarm, set it to ask about connections and programs that are allowed to use the Internet. When it asks about MSN just say "no". Or go into the settings and say no to connecting. That is providing they don't know how to use the PC.

They've got their own PCs connected via a 4 port router in my study to the net. What I'd like is to block the ports on that router, that's obviously password protected on both LAN and WAN sides.

Lock down everything except for port 80, and hope msn can't tunnel through http?
