Hello experts,
My 9 yr old and 11 yr old kids each have their own little computers. They are wasting too much time on MSN. I want to control their ability to use MSN through the firewall installed on my computer.
My computer (Windows 2000 Pro) has two network cards, one connected to a DSL modem and the other to an Ethernet hub. I am using Internet Connection Sharing to share the Internet with my network. I have ZoneAlarm Pro 4.x (registered, legitimate) on this computer and it is configured as an ICS gateway computer.
Can anyone tell me what ports I must block in ZoneAlarm to block transmission of MSN packets across my network? Do you know ZoneAlarm well enough to know where I should make create this expert rule? (i.e. is it an expert rule for the msnmsgr.exe program or for the entire firewall?) I realize there are ways that my kids will learn to circumvent this (e.g. going through port 80), but for now this will suffice.
My goal is to be able to turn on/off the ability to use MSN on my daughters’ computers. You know little girls and chatting… you spend three years trying to teach them to talk and then you can’t turn them off for the next twenty.
Thanks,
A Responsible DadSimple create a password to enter ZA that only you have access to then go to program control and deny all access to MSN that way they won’t be able to use it cuz ZA will block every connection to it.
