    How can I block access to certain websites in internet explorer?

    My dad keeps asking to go on the internet and everytime I come in he's sitting in my room looking at the same stuff. :mad: :mad:

    This is my computer and as a result I'm going to have to start blocking google and that shit thin lizzy tribute bands website. Without these I know for a fact that he'll be lost and I'll make up a load of mumbo jumbo to convince him that it's some kind of problem at their end. :)

    Any ideas how to go about this?

    Yes this is morally right, no I won't PM scotty1120.

    Thanks.

    Yes but if I shut down the "black rose" website his whole love of the internet will crumble down around it. :lol:

    Without google he won't be able to find anything else to look at.

    There's only room for one msn head in this house.

    search for the "hosts" file

    i think its in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\

    add whatever website u want to block and point it to 127.0.0.1

    example:

    127.0.0.1 www.nufc.com

    then save it. this will block access to that horrid site!

    hmm they shouldnt.

    search for *host* using windows search...make sure u dont have more than one.

    also try going into command prompt and typing:

    ipconfig /flushdns

    to make sure u dont have them cached.

    Maybe I should become a Lost internet detective and have the numbers in my custom title.

    Yeah, that's what I'll do.

    Me. ;)

    Plus a very giving board payment every week means that he' s not allowed on the pc more than once a week. Or if I'm out.

    I agree on your last point though.

    So will banning the sites via a local host not work?

    Hows about settin up the other machine to go to a proxy that doesn't exist?

    No it isn't. I don't want my dad in my bedroom trying and failing to use the computer and asking me for help every two minutes. Plus he has proven to be a nosey cunt in the past and it's in my best interests that he doesn't spend any time in my bedroom.

    Chandler - what other machine, there isn't one. :lol:
