I would like to block my internet connection, to my kids
login. How might I set this up on XP home edition? I am
using dsl to the ethernet port.

Trent,

Believe it or not Windows has not come up with anything to prevent this. Go
get Symantec's Internet Security to prevent Internet access to specific
Windows accounts. You will also be getting Norton Antivirus and Firewall
protection included so the $60 is worth it.

** There's a setting to only allow access to approved sites... well if you
don't put anything in the list, they will need a password to do anything on
the web. And maybe you won't mind putting in sites like Disney etc. The
ratings system described in the article is fairly unreliable so don't depend
on it.
