parental control?

Possible yes. But I dont know if any out there have the features. Check out PC Mag to see if anyone has come up with that idea yet. And how much it costs.

At the moment, as far as I know, that must be done through some sort of nanny software. I'm not aware of any wireless routers that currently have that sort of capability.

Maybe a computer as a server for the network running a nanny-type software. I'll check into some of them and see if they offer this feature.

It would have to have a proxy-type box that all information travelled through, so that it could scan all traffic.

Is there any reason you can't use software on XP?

Well if you have a extra computer you can try this

You could put a host file on the users' PCs with the sites you want to block. Although the monowall project looks like more fun.

Well what I was actually thinking about is, a semi-public wireless network. A new martial arts school is opening. They already have plans for having private party times on the weekends where for like $10 you can drop the kids off for a few hours. A safe and healthy environment you can leave them in while you go out or just enjoy a little quiet time.

Anyways some people (like us) are going to be bringing the kids there almost immediately after school. After the kids classes, are the adult classes, which I'll be taking once my hand heals up. I thought it would be nice to have net access there for school research and such, for the children and college students, etc while they wait.

So you could see why it would be preferable to limit access , so kids with their own laptops won't get into things they shouldn't.
