blocking webpages?

[pitslayer]

can anyone tell me how to block webpages on the internet? brothers girlfriend who is currently running the office, has just been spending her days on myspace and facebook. i despise these sites, and she is not paid to look at them either. how can i block them so she cant get on them. we have already had to rebuild our network in work, because of crap she went on via facebook and myspace

Do you have a router for your broadband?
If so you can normally log onto them and block individual sites, or if you have a decent software firewall you can do it that way.

i know none of the passcodes for the pc`s, my old man had a brilliant idea of locking everyone out of them, and not tell anyone the codes, so when there is a problem, i cant fix it.
i think i might just gofor the easiest option and hide the icons /lol

Dont need to log onto any other PCs than your own. What router have you got?

simple just bitch slap her :p

or put an entry in the hosts file on the system that read

myspace.com 127.0.0.1
facebook.com 127.0.0.1

this will mean she will see bugger all when trying to goto those websites
