I've finally managed to get my wireless network working and the kids machine now has internet access. Before I tell them about this I thought it best to install some blocking software, such as Net nanny or Cyber patrol, to stop them visiting the sites that I like to view!

Does anyone have any recommendations as to which is the best?

Thanks in advance

Net Nanny et al are only as good as the sites themselves as they use the headers in the META tags and the RASC ratings to determine if a site is OK to allow access.

Are you using IE? If so it's possible to setup security zones and block access to most dodgy sites. It's not perfect but free!

If that's useful to you then let me know and I'll email over the setup doc I've got.
