Hi all,

How would I go about limiting Internet access for different user profiles
but leaving some with Internet access? Also, does WinXP have a "netnanny"
type of software anywhere?

Thanks!

XP does not have a built-in Net Nanny. You would need to purchase
third-party software for that.

If you have XP Pro, you can set very fine-grained permissions and
restrictions with Group Policy. If you have XP Home, look at MVP Doug
Knox's Security Console or the MS Shared Computer Toolkit.

Thanks for the reply. I have XP Home and will look into those links.
