Youll have to reset the router, and use the default login:

http://192.168.1.1

For the login, its usually
user: admin
password: password

or user: leave blank
password: admin

Actually, since yours is a switch, instead of 192. try using

127.0.0.1

in your internet explorer url field.

127.0.0.1 is actually the local loopback (the computers network adapter) so that won't work. By default D-Link routers have an ip address of 192.168.0.1 . Have you tried that?





I agree with a couple of earlier posters. Sit the guy down and talk to him and lay down the law.

Filtering the websites electronically is not the answer to whatever the problem is.  I understand you've told him this is not ok and he does it anyway, but without knowing the whole situation it is hard to offer any real help.  The main thing that is missing from your post is why there is a problem with him looking at porn to began with.  Is he doing this on a machine that customers can see?  If so you need to explain to him why that is a problem, and then you maybe you could simply move the computer, or change around the view of the monitor so they can't see it.  Is he looking at pron, playing games, etc... when he should be working?  If so, simply blocking the sites isn't going to fix you problem.  He'll just do something else.  Are you in an area where phonograph is illegal?  If so you need to explain he is breaking the law and putting your business is risk.


Is the problem simply that it is offending you?  Well you are the boss, but in my time in IT I've worked at places with strict anti-porn rules, and places where the bosses had virtual girl on their desktops.  The former always had many more problems with this kind of thing then the later.  Most people can respect rules, even ones they don't agree with, better then out right prohibition.

I agree that filtering is rarely effective, but I have set up numerics companies with 'allow only' business specific IP's on routers or firewalls due to the limited upstream on some satellite internet systems, and they don't have any problems after that with ANY sort of abuse...other than browsing benign sites they don't consider 'wasting company time' after that...people are funny.

The price you pay to lock it down entirely without employing a full time IT guy to monitor everything.

The problem is I pay THOUSANDS for computer equipment and those porn site are full of viruses and I have already had to replace a computer he was on.  Also the fact that when he is at work and on the clock I don't pay him to play games and look at porn.  I also realize if I am getting viruses I do not have sufficent virus protection.  I guess I am going to have to spend more money to have a company setup my network so I dont have anymore problems.  Thanks for the info

It seems the solution to all your problems is password all the PC's.
If your computers have sensitive personal and business data that should already be in place with some encryption in the event of theft.
If the guy needs internet access for some reason, turn on the wireless and get him a cheap old ebay laptop.

Well, yes, you need correctly running and updated anti-virus if your running Windows based PCs.  However, as far as your problem, most places actually pay their employees to do work, rather then to fill seats at desks.  What I am trying to say is that if your looking at what any employee is doing your going to find non-productive time.  People need to take takes breaks, have distractions, etc...  What is useful is to look at what the employee is producing.  If he is doing the work load he should in the time he should, who cares what else he is doing, (provided it is legal and not hurting the company.)

When I worked for a certain car dealership, they had a main webpage and set up a "intranet" where you could only visit a set amount of links and during lunch hours they had more links to where you could do online shopping, the news and more appropriate sites for break time.

See if you can have someone set you up with a intranet.
