How to block a web page completely?

[IXIswamperIXI]

I have an employee that is using my computers to look at porn at my shop.... I am trying to figure out how to block certin web pages and what I have done so far hasn't worked.  I know he should be fired but that right now is not an option.  I am running XP on that computer.  Any help would be appriciated. 

Thanks in advance

You should be able to block sites at the router.

   remove his/her fingers @ the third knuckle..should stop the porn surfing

You wont have an effective solution for free, but the most used filtering program is WebSense.

Most of the school districts as well as government agencies use this to keep everyone on the right page. Pun intended. Good luck

you can go about it this way, but he might be able to go in and unblock it or just find another site to browse

[sflarider]

lol, good luck trying to find all the porn sites across the web to add to that. Its a good plan in theory, but youd be spending all your time adding sites to restrcit access to. The best thing to use would be a program that filters cvertain content altogether.

You could try blackmail. Leave a hidden camera in the office where the computer is, and let the magic happen. After that, you'll be able to get him to work for free

[sflarider]

rofl, thats the best plan yet! Id go with his idea, plus it makes for more fun for you.

You will definately need a 3rd party software such as websense or Netnanny.

Had a guy I got an IT job for, mentored him for the position and then he took over. A few months later I was called down for a favor work on the network as a few critical apps weren't functioning. After a bit of investigation I found that the guy had been downloading porn at his desk, burning it to disk, and locking himself in the server closet to watch it all on the servers as well as browse porn on the web.

He got the fax server saturated with viruses and malware as well as caused the firewall to autoblock ports. It was a mess.

Needless to say his a$$ was canned!!!

Thanks for the replies!!!

I tried that EXACT thing and it didn't work, its like I didn't do anything.

man I can't get into my stupid router I have tried 192.168.1.1 , 192.168.0.1 , 192.168.1.2 , 192.168.1.34 (which is what my ipconfig said it was) I didn't set this router up so I am not sure if I am locked out.  This stuff starts to go over my head.  Any ideas?

[shogun323]

from a command prompt, run ipconfig. The address for your gateway will be your router.

I did that... cmd then ipconfig and it was 192.168.1.1 but when I put it in the explorer it doesn't load it

[shogun323]

Hmmmmmm........ How Bizarre!!!!

pull the cable out of the wall 

[shogun323]

pull the cable out of the wall 

And after you pull the cable out, create a new hole by using your pistol and run the cable back through. 

[IXIswamperIXI]

LOL you have no idea... I will keep trying different things

[sflarider]

If you could be more specific with the model of the router, it would be easier to help.
Make and model on the router, I can get you into the setup page.

[IXIswamperIXI]

D Link  dss-8+ I think thats the model # I am use to the linkus

[Islandbreeze07]

Remove the computer? Move the computer to a secured room and lock it with the only key on you? Monitor the guy's movements so you can get him off the computer?

Threaten with calling the cops? (Just trying to give you ideas)

You can always stick a paperclip in the reset hole if .255 doesn't work and you know how to set it up again.

maybe have a short meeting and just lay it out simple like.."hey..stop using this computer for porn..go home for that" and then continue working

[Chevy1500z71]

seriously, if you cant fire him than just sit down with him and tell him hes an idiot and he needs to stop, i really doubt he wants to loose his job so dont make him feel like you cant fire his ass even if you really cant...

You could also set up a password on your computer and then everytime you leave your computer jus log out so he cant access your computer at all. that would piss him off!!!
