If you have indetd running then it should be easy. What I'd be inclined to do, is to have an ACL whereby it contains all the names of the computers (workstation FQH's) contained in each room. Have that ACL authenticated to usually allow access, except if you change the "/etc/squid.conf" file to disallow access to that room. Hmm, I'm having fun in my SQL tutorial at the moment, and am getting no work done, he he....good old Uni. -- Thomas Adam --- Administrator <Administrator@gilberd.essex.sch.uk> wrote: > IP's are DHCP, so that's kinda random.

(netbios?) is unique though, IdentD service also running too, if that's any help. :S
How can I block by pc name?

Yes, I have some....
Squid works its filtering not only on ACL's but on IP/subnets too.
Assuming that the IP addresses of your machines in the specific room have a commonality about them then it should be easy enough for you to block an entire room.

Squid block internet access to an entire room of kids?
At the moment, the ACL's block some users and some websites, but sometimes, for obvious reasons a teacher wants us to block, say, Room 30 from having internet access.
Each machine is Win2k, and is named '30-pcxx' where xx is a number to uniquely id the machine.
I've written a vb program before that runs before IE, but it isn't very successful!!
Any ideas?? Pur-lease?!
