go Tools menu, click on Internet Options.\n\nClick on Content.\n\nEnable the Content Advisor by clicking on Enable.\n\nClick on Approved Sites tab.\n\nNow type in the sites that you don't want them to go and click on Never.\n\nMake sure that you remember password before applying the settings.\n\n//Now that will work for Explorer but not for other browsers.//

They probably have a policy to stop children from doing things on the net... Many educational facilities and work places block certain URL's... Nothing you can do, unless you find another proxy server...

yahoo can let you set up all the parental controls you need but I would still recommend keeping the pc in the same room as you are in when the kids are using it.\nThis way you can see what is happening

Download firefox. Its a fast and secure browser to use instead of internet explorer.\n\nGo to:\nhttp://www.mozilla.com/firefox/\n\nThen whenever you fill in a site password a little message box appears asking if you'd like to save the password. Everytime you go to the page afterwards the entire form is filled out for you.

Use the settings provided by your internet provider, (ISP). Enter that in Firefox. It should work. If you don't know, do call your cable admin...\n\nIf ever your Internet Explorer does work, just copy the proxy settings and transfer it to Firefox.

There are many different programs to block unwanted websites out on the internet. Within Internet Browsers such as Internet Explorer & Firefox, there are ways to set ratings to control what sites are accessible and if adults still wish to access them, they can enter a password. This ratings are locating under Internet Options in Internet Explorer or Options in Firefox. AOL also has parental blocking software but I'm not familiar with it, I'm sure it works the same way.

pretty cheeky dude.. haan..\n\nj/k.\n\nthere aer two ways in which you can block sites.\n\none way is to enable content advisor in Internet Explorer. You can set up a supervisor password for that also. \nOpen internet explorer\nclick on tools\nclick on options\nclick on 'content'\nclick on enable content advisor\nset up the settings as per your needs\nif you wish, then create a password\nif all done well, you'll have set up a content advisor for IE. \n\nThe other way is to add the websites that your child has already visited to the "restricted sites" list\nhowever, that'll not be a perfect solution because of the fact that there will be many more sites like that .\n\nopen ie\ngo to options\nclick on security\nclick on restricted sites\nclick on 'sites' on the right\nenter the sites \nclick add\nclick ok\nclick ok\n\nhope that helps

hii \nPlease go to the site of microsoft.com \nas per my knowledge if you want to lock the modem then it can bee done by the modem portal only i.e type the IP address you got with yourr Modem on explorer and see if there is any option for it.\nOther method is \n1. Open the Network connection\n2. View all the connection (i.e the LAN connection oof ur modem)\n3. right- click on that icon and select disable in this way i think you get success.\nlet me know if it solve your problem coz i also faced similar problem so let me know for sure

Go to the internet control panel (or Tools menu, Options option in Internet Explorer) and then the Connections tab.  Then set it to "Never dial a connection" and ok out.

you can't. it's part of microsoft's "screw up internet explorer even more to try and stop viruses and spyware". it isn't working. What you really need is Mozilla Firefox. The browser thats better than IE by far.

The Active X-support is part of your Internet Explorer browser. Some websites, like the Windows Update site, use this technology.\nYou can configure the settings via the Control Panel - Internet Options. On the Security tab, select "the Internet" and click on custom level. At the top of the list, you can configure Active X for the security level "the Internet".

That is a good start.  See if a wired connection from your computer to router will work.  \n\nCheck your firewall on your computer. Maybe you should disable that for now.  \n\nIf things don't get better, then use the wired connection to TURN OFF your WEP KEY password for now.   If you can establish a proper connection, then try a simply password scheme.  \n\nBut don't try to run without security forever.  YOU SHOULD BE USING THIS FEATURE.

<>The easiest way would be to ask him.  The default password is admin.  However, if you wish to reset the network- YOU WILL LOSE ALL SETTINGS- press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then while still holding the button, remove the power cord for 10 seconds and then reconnect it and release the reset button.  I suggest you ask your stepson if he knows what the settings were before you do this.

If the computer is running Windows XP, and you're using one of the Internet Explorers.  This is very simple to accomplish without putting a fancy program in the computer. Open Explorer, click on tools, then Internet options. On the window that opens up, click on the security tab in the top box you should see a red checkmark this is restricted sites, highlight the red check, below that there's a button that says, sites click on this, now all you have to do is enter the correct Internet address in the line and click add.  Do this for each web site you wish to block.  The only thing your brother will get is an Internet error page, he will think the servers down.
