Preventing internet access via 'my computer' and windows explorer?

[arkadyf]

Sometimes students want to see not advantages of mankind but dark sides of
it :)

You are a school and you are preventing the students from accessing the
greatest source of information ever put together by mankind???
Don't you really think you should consider, perhaps, doing something
different, if this is the course of action you are going to pursue???
Perhaps you could for a "Keep Mankind in the Dark" society... or a nice

book

burning/banning organization...
Really, there is no end to insanity--once one embarks upon that road...

Hi
Is there any way of preventing people accessing the internet by typing

the

url into 'my computer' or windows explorer windows? We are a school and

have

found students using this method to access the internet even though we

have

removed IE.
We are using Windows 98/NT
Thanks for any help

Some hardware router has 'admin' option to disallow Web browsing
filtered by Mac address. Go to
http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers for port and description
which to block.

You can install free firewall like ZoneAlarm and by default ( on start ) all
internet closed up to you start to open.

ZoneAlarm, software firewall, YIKES! Software firewall is too lame.
Kids can crack ZoneAlarm, don't underestimate them. You can block WWW
or port 80, 443, 8080, 8001, etc. by Mac address.
