if so i had a few questions im trying to maintain the car dealership i work for....sales man and techs are the main issue...if its a slow day everyones is using they're down time to either research stupid stuff or download porn or go on myspace which just slows down the network i need a fast cheap easy way to control this situation before it gets out of hand i just have to take computers away from everyone.
make a page that has a loud siren or crazy song, and make myspace or other sites they visit get forwarded to it. something like this
ACCEPT JESUS, FOREVER FORGIVEN! LOL :LOL:
what do you do at this dealer ship? what do you mean maintain? reason i asK if youre the IT, then you would know how to do this.. its in the network, you can block anything you want, its rather simple..
Our company uses Barracuda Web Filter and you can add sites and site categories to block. Not sure of the cost, but it's definitely effective.
Im a Basic Field Tech/ admin
but the only problem is the windows based blocking system has defects and they dont work all that well cuz they all know how to get around it and the routers dont have filters
yeah i'd just a good web filter the one damnyankee mentioned is probably one of the best if not the best, it would be hard to block things by just using windows..
Ours is done through the server.
they use a blocker called St bernard
NICE that St. Bernard software looks pretty cool im gonna get the free trial and see what happens thanks yall (BTW good to know you guys are all computer geeks like me haha did you guys know theres such think as system administrator appreciation day its the last friday of july)
Sounds to me like your techs going to myspace is the least of your worries. If you are having problems blocking access outside of the LAN, how exactly are you blocking outsiders from entering your LAN? You really should have a network assesment done by a reputable company, and implement changes as needed. If you have personal customer data on this network you could be opening the door to legal issues if not properly secured.
