Sure...
Go to %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc
Open the file called 'hosts'
add a line at the bottom that says:
<IP Address of your web server> <Name of the site that you want to redirect>
for example:
192.168.1.100 www.google.com
Now, find out what the path of the page that they are trying to hit is. If
they are just going to http://www.google.com, no problem. But if they are
going to http://www.google.com/directory1/directory2/game.htm, then you will
need to create that same directory structure on your web server...
If you use IIS, it may be simpler to just create a new site that answers to the
IP address, with a host header of the name of the site.... that way there is no
possibility of intermixing the production web site with this "dummy" site.
HTH... specific URLS of the sites that you are trying to block would help me
give more specific advise. And, do you run your own DNS, and are you trying to
block for the whole network, or a subset of machines?

Subject: [windows2000] Internet Explorer redirect
Is there some place (perhaps in the registry), where I can specify that
a certain Internet address points to a different place?
Example, some kids at one of our schools have figured out how to bypass
out Internet filter. They always go to the same 2 sites. I would like
to force their Internet Explorer to go to an HTML page on the server,
that has a message telling them they can not go to that site any more.
Is there a way to do this in Windows 2000?
Thank you,
Jeff.
