Need to Block MySpace
I need to block access to My Space on my computers at my business. How can I do this? The PCs run XP with IE7.

Not an easy way to do it unless you have some kind of filtering software. You could edit the hosts file but that is a big pain to do for each computer. The file is in c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc \hosts. It doesn't have an extension but can be opened with notepad.
Add a line like this: 127.0.0.1 myspace.com and save the file.

Do you run a router or firewall?

If you run a Windows Domain Server, you can just create a Forward Lookup in the Windows DNS service for "myspace.com" and enter a HOST (A) record which points to a bogus IP.
That would take effect for all users in the domain. |

Very good point. If the person didn't seem to care about discrimination/even notice it, he/she might just go use someone else's computer.

Another way would be to ask the person to not visit that site anymore.
