My first attempt. Forgive me if I mess this up. I am trying to build a safe internet network in my home. I have decided the way to do it is with a server I think. That is why I am here.
This is what I have in mind. Each computer is given free access or filtered access according to their mac address. This is what my router already does. Unfiltered access would be served what ever it is requested. Filtered computers would only be allowed access to url's on a preapproved list. If the submitted url is not approved it is kept on a list until my wife and I can add it later. After a couple of weeks the list should grow quite nicely so the kids can surf the web to all there favorite sites without their mother or I worrying about them. I am wondering if a server will do this for my local area network instead of the router or along with it? How is it done? Where do I start looking? Do I have to be programmer or rocket scientist? What kind of hardware or software is required? I would like to hear all your ideas? Blake -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
