I don't know what internet gateway you are using. If the gateway is a NT/WIN2K server, install the apache web server on the gateway, configure it to work as a proxy server and restrict access to the allowed websites. Then set up the firewall for transparent proxy or to allow only proxied website requests.

It the gateway is a linux server, it is just the same, but configuring a transparent proxy is somewhat easier.

If the gateway is a router, you can usually configure to which sites http request are allowed.

If your access is through a network a good proxy server will help, winproxy is one i use, it offers Smart filter, Blocked, Permitted, and banner blocking, it also cuts out the need to do any configuring on system except a little for E-mail. it should suit your needs. it may even help out in other areas, You can download a 30 day trial verision from www.winproxy.com

hope this helps

HEY! Do this before you buy a whole lot of software or hardware. Upgrade to IE6.0. Content Advisor in IE6.0 will do it all. Try it first and you will see.

work in a real company right?
just setup block on the proxy or firewall or router.

best solution:
if you go to playboy.com during office hours you get fired, zero tolerance.
