The router is a Linksys. But I can always create a proxy server on my
VMWare ESX server and install Dansguardian there, then block the kids'
PC from accessing the router directly, to force them through the
proxy...

The kids are very well behaved on the computer. They are not really the
type to go to bad places on their own, but with some of the popups and
ads that come up, not to mention crap e-mails, you can never be too
careful...

Thanks for all the help, eveyone!
