blocking sites

[Sam]

I have a Linksys Wireless AP Router w/4 Port Switch and
doesn't this router allow you to block sites for the
local area network?

Hi, Sam -

Here's a link to the user guide for that router -

To directly answer your question, I'm afraid there isn't
anything in your router that'll let you block certain
sites. About all you can do is block certain *computers*
from accessing the Internet at all.

If you're trying to block sites based on content there
are tools within Windows XP you can use (take a look at
Content Advisor within Internet Explorer) or you can
purchase a third-party program to do the job if you like.

Hope this helps -
