    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

    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..

    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.
