I have two business computers that need to have internet access for emailing reports and for remote management, but I want to make sure employees are not goofing around on-line while working. So what's the best method for blocking web surfing? For what it's worth, both computers have Windows XP Professional.
I don't want to completely block surfing because I do want to be able to access a handful of sites that relate to our business.
For what I'm trying to do, would a content filter like Net Nanny be my best choice? What other options do I have and would any be better than a content filter?|||If both the computers are networked then install a proxy server. In the proxy server you can 'blacklist' websites preventing users from accessing them or include specific sites in the 'whitelist'|||Justin! That is so mean. Do you also monitor their phone calls? and forbid them from talking to each other on company time?
Why don't you just tell them that you don't want them to goof around online while working and then trust them to do the right thing.
I find that if I treat my staff with respect and as adults they respond by working harder and are more loyal.
Of course there's always the risk that if you give an inch they'll take a mile, but If it ever turns out that they have then it's disciplinary matter.|||Our IT guys put partial locks on 4 us, we also have windows xp prof. They have a customer service that caters to small businesses. I am so glad now, our office staff was constantly virusing my business programs with their personal internet use during business hours.|||netdog : http://www.netdogsoft.com
