Restricting Internet Use

[Josh Burkey]

I was wondering if there is anyway to restrict internet
use to certain users. I operate a (very) small business,
and the computer in the back office controls a register
in the front of the store. Just one Win XP system,
nothing fancy. A few general employees play around on
the internet when they should be working, and this needs
to stop. What can I do, if anything, to keep them off
the internet while I still can use it if need be. Any
help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Josh Burkey

Hiya Josh

We have something called Browse Control You can view details and
download the fully functional trial from: www.browsecontrol.com

With this you can either turn internet off totally, or linit it to
certain times of day, e.g. lunch hours.

You can also provide a WHITE LIST, i.e. work related web sites they
can access during work hours.

Hope you get chance to give it a try!!
