Understood what you wish to do. For site restrictions:

- A switch is pretty much just a distributor of lan connnection. Imagine this like to be a multiple extension electrical cord. No configuration possible for what you mentioned.
- On a router some limited configuration is possible to restrict sites, etc.
- A true web filtering such as blocking pornography, warez, etc. is available through softwares such as NetNanny, CyberSitter, etc.

Following site gives the review of top 10 content filtering software: Internet Filter Software Review 2008

It also appears that you are running a small office or cybercafe, etc. I would recommend that you buy one of the top three from the above. A fee of less that $40 works out to less than Rs. 1600/-. I recommend to buy original software

Some small piece of advice - you may choose to follow it or not - entirely up to you.

Do not download and install a warez copy or use keygen software to do that. 2 years ago I did something like that and my whole PC was hijacked by a worm. It took away all my admin rights, would not let me open the registry, my browser home page was set to something and I could not change it, etc., etc.

From this day I became an ardent anti-piracy supporter.

Thanks for your kind information and support definatly i will follow your advice. Yes u r right I am having Cyber cafe.

thanks again

I was myself going through the software reviews. It appears that you will have to buy the license for every PC. If this works out too expensive, you could install a windows proxy server, install the content filter on the proxy server and use the proxy as the internet gateway for all other machines in the cybercafe.
