Is there anything else I can do to limit users to certian webaites beside using Wingate or a proxy server. Wingate Locks up 2 - 3 times a day and their tech support is lacking contacting back to me. I have a firm that needs to limit certain users or computer or ip adresses to websites and block all others.

depends if your client is using a W2K AD based network and worstations and what version of Windows the workstations are.

Internet Explorer has trusted zones and restricted sites where you can specify blocking certain sites. With W2K/WK3 AD, you can specify IE settings to computers and users via group policy and define what sites can and can not be accessed. You can also limit users ability to change IE settings and hide certain features with Group Policy. Also, depending upon what router your using as a firewall, you can specifiy URL's or IP addresses that the router will block via a filter.

I have to mention first to install the latest version of wingate and make sure the os of the computer is updated.

I dont agree with the previous answer, since you have to make the changes on a per computer basis instead on a central location.

In the past I have used www.surfcontrol.com with very good results.
you can block per website, or categorie (sex, sports, gambling, news, etc) per user or per group.

check it out.
