restrict all web access bar a server gateway.
Hi folks
Strange one here that i cant figure out for the life of me. Basically, we are about to roll out netbooks to our tradesmen to enable them to receive jobs, order stock, close jobs, etc, without having to return to our premises. The netbooks will connect to a gateway on a specific server that contains our database with all the relevant stock/jobs/schedules. However, I want to disable all internet access from the netbooks as, with the PDA's they currently have, they spend a large portion of time browsing the internet instead of actually working. I initially I thought tit would be possible to set up parental controls allowing only access to the gateway of the server, but for some reason it won't allow it. Is there any way, at all, that i can do this without the use of some specialist software? You might have guessed I am not a desktop tech, although quite knowledgable around most OS's. If anyone has any ideas, suggestions (or abuse) please let me know. Regards.
Cheers
