Internet Access Restrictions

It depends on what you mean by "restrict."

Content Advisor is still there in IE to limit access to violent or adult sites (in IE, Tools/Internet Options/Content). If you need better control for kids, there are a number of packages on the market that let you do this.

If you want NO access, the easiest thing to do is block the station at the internet router.

If you have a firewall (if you have a corporate network, you should), you can generally pick and choose where you will let a particular station talk to.

Good luck.

Concur with RGershbock's answer.

Content Advisor's default setting turns off Users Can See Sites With No Rating. Since the majority of sites aren't rated, this can shut the user down almost completely. Then, you could put in a list of approvedsites, for example those sites related to the user's job.

The problem with this is, it takes 5 minutes to configure each machine. If you need to restrict access on a larger scale, you have two choices: a firewall or router access lists.

I can't help you with the firewall, but I can provide you some sample router access lists that I have used to keep users out of "disreputable" sites. E-mail me and I'll share them with you.

Good fortune,
