How Do I Restrict Certain Websites ?
I want to restrict specific websites from my pc that my daughter is spending way too much time on.
How do I do it in Internet Explorer and AOL ?
I tried going into Tools on IE and then Security then adding the website as a resticted site but it didn't work.
Also, is there a way to limit the time a specific user can use IE as there is in AOL ?
Thanks.

I would imagine you are using a physical router/firewall at some point in your interent connection. Most of their interfaces allow for blocking of websites right at the firewall level. You go into the admin interface via Internet Explorer (usually something like 192.168.1.1) and make the changes in there.

matome,
We have Verizon for our internet connection, TV and phone.
How do I go into the admin interface via IE ?
Thanks.

In Internet Explorer go to http://192.168.1.1 and login with admin and the password which hopefully the Verizon tech gave you when he set it up. You should get in to an interface with a menu on the top where you click "Parental Controls." THe page should look like this if we have the same interface:
Just choose the computer(s) in Step 1 and follow the rest of the instructions and it should work.
