How to stop sign in for msn

[carolbrady]

I want to know if there's an easy way to block msn
messenger whilst we are at work, so that the teens in the
house don't sit on the net chatting to their mates all
day instead of doing their work.
Going onto the net to do research should still be
available, I only want to stop msn, and then be able to
get it back up later when they have permission to go onto
it. Any idea's???

If you have a firewall or router of some kind you can block
all TCP connections to port 569. Which should disable MSN Messenger.
