    Hi

    I would like to know is it possible to restrict any kind of website? Is there any method where one can go and restrict whatever website so when you go to the website it says cannot find server? I think it is possible because it has happened to me...

    thanks

    You can use blocking software like Net Nanny, you can block sites with some routers that have filters, and you can edit the hosts file on the pc. To restrict *all* websites set the connection to use a proxy like local loop and you'll never resolve a DNS again..lol.

    Have Fun.
