Is this modem providing routing also?

Can you access the devices configuration web page? See if it has a section for URL Filtering. I know many SOHO solutions have something similar.
Tell us the make and model of the ADSL router and we can help

Yeah, what you are showing is it's Access-list feature. You would need to enter ip addresses and that can become cumbersome when dealing with restricting websites that have large address pools. Keep looking and see if you have some type of URL/Keyword filter feature. As for restricting certain users. I don't think you will be able to accomplish that with a SOHO router.

Oh, it means Small Office/Home Office. Sorry. Yes, you have a SOHO router.

ok, what if I want to block in general or block from some employees?
ASKER
if non of that can be accomplished, isn't there anyway to monitor ip or mac address that accessing facebook website?
Only thing I can think of off bat is if you set up some type of proxy server on your network to relay all web traffic. Then you could invoke some type of user based restriction and monitoring.
