    I was asked today what is the best way that a parent could limit the sites that a young teenager could access on a family laptop. And also if possible could a timer be setup to control the amount of time that is spent on the web that perhaps disconnects from the net after a certain time, to help curtail the amount of time spent on the net.
    I didn't know what to suggest so that is why I am posting this here, any suggestions on what they can use. They are using Windows XP.

    I found a handy way of blocking in-appropriate web pages by using opendns on your network, more on adult filtering here.

    See the list of schools that use it here

    If you search the parenting forum you should find a few more threads very similar to this.
