[NCSA-discuss] windows firewall question

[Joseph Mack NA3T]

A friend has a shop that's not particularly busy and the new 
person at the counter seems to have used the PoS machine 
(WinXP) to surf the internet and download viruses while 
waiting for customers to buy something. The viruses stop the 
PoS machine from doing its PoS work which is distressing to 
my friend. Firing the clerk isn't an option apparently.

The WinXP machine is connected via a DSL box to the 
internet. The machine only has to connect to the sites of a 
few (say 10) vendors to handle ordering. A possible solution 
would be to setup a firewall that only allowed access to the 
vendor sites, with new sites being added on in a gui. I'd 
expected ZoneAlarm could do this, but on checking with their 
technical people (via a chat room), I found that ZoneAlarm 
doesn't do this.

Any windows firewalls that work the way I want?

Any other ideas?

Thanks Joe
