Hi all
I don't want my kids using msn all day and all night but I don't want to uninstall it completely, as I do want them to be able to talk to their cousins in the usa using msn and a webcam that I will set up.
My router has the ability to block particular websites and so does my software firewall. What I dont know is what information i need to put into the router and firewall as the ip address or website name etc for blocking msn.
Can anyone assist
many thanks

Are you using Firefox or IE?
If you are using IE you could use a hosts file
If you are using FF use an extention called "blocksite"
