especially for parents who want to guard against questionable content for their children’s computers. The administrator has two choices in this window, URL blocking (websites) and Domain Blocking. See the following for more information on Parental control and its implementation.

Advanced > Parental Control > URL Blocking

URL or Uniform Resource Locator is a specially formatted text string that uniquely defines an Internet website. This window will allow users to block computers on the LAN from accessing certain URLs. This may be accomplished by simply entering the URL to be blocked in the URL Keyword field. The user may also use this field to block certain websites by entering a keyword into the URL Keyword field. So, if any website’s URL contains this word, it will automatically be denied access to users on the LAN.

For example, if you wish to block users from accessing shopping websites, enter the keyword “shopping” into the URL Keyword field. Websites having “shopping” in their

URL (such as http://www.yahoo.com/shopping/stores.html or http://www.msn/search/shopping-spree.html) will now be denied access from computers on the LAN. This feature may be beneficial to parents wanting to stop their kids from accessing certain websites or for companies who want their employees to stop surfing the Internet on company time.

To configure this window for URL blocking, enter the website’s address or a keyword into the URL Keyword field and click the radio button to enable URL Blocking and then click Apply to save this configuration into the Router’s memory. Configured URL blocking entries will be displayed in a list at the bottom of the window. To modify a URL blocking entry in the list, click its corresponding edit icon. To delete a URL blocking entry in the list, click its corresponding delete icon.
