Okay, this may be easy, but I have to ask.

The company I work for has a large amount of vendors. Instead of giving users "a free ride to surf the net", I want to allow users access to ONLY vendors websites, while still allowing management and net-admin users to have unlimited internet access.

Short and sweet... let's hope the answer is relatively the same?!

Thanks in advance...

BTW, all user terminals are using wither Windows 2000 or XP. Server is a mixed Windows 2000 Server and AS-400 system.

I think you can use a proxy with filter. My company uses Linux with SQUID proxy and DANSGUARDIAN filter. You can make groups with different privileges too.

We use a nifty little program called Browse Control, made by Codeworks. The reason we chose it over the other available filtering programs at the time... was the fact that it used WHITElists instead of BLACKlists. It was also fairly inexpensive compared to other solutions. It can also block applications from running as well.... just in case you want to restrict the use of freecell and solitare as well. ;)

if u want to restrict users to access the complete net and if ur network is windows environment you can use the third party tool to restrict certain user and u can give access to certain group. my company is uses symantec web proxy earler it is best one where as now we are expermenting on other software called surfcontrol but where as for easy administration go for symatec web security .
