Hi -

Our neighbors just got a new computer and would like to set it up so
their kids have zero internet access (and such that they can't get
around it).

Seems to me there should be a way to set up a limited user account with
no network configuration and then simply not allow them to change that,
but I'm more of a unix guy than windows guy so am not sure where to
look...

McAfee Privacy (www.mcafee.com) gives the Administrator, in this case, the
parent the right to list different users. Each user will have different
access to the computer and this can include no Internet access, I believe, -
or can limit the usage to specific times.

Each user (children and adults) will be given a userid and password. Of
course, it depends on the Administrator and the adults keeping their
passwords secret from the children.

Took a look, but all it seems to allow is content filtering/blocking,
not outright denial. Do you know for a fact it does this? That would
be exactly what they want if it really worked...

thanks!
