how to block a link from an external web page

how to block a link from an external web page

Hi,

I'm not sure if this can be done but I'd like to do it. I would like to
block all links to my website from a particular website. The IPs accessing
the webpage will be different but the external web page address is the same.
I'm using IIS 6.0 on a Windows 2003 server.

I am not a web administrator - just a programmer that maintains a volunteer
website so I apologize for my lack of knowledge.

In this particular case the external webpage is linking to specific parts of
our website so that they look as if they belong to his website.

Thanks for your help.

Try LeachBlocker.

There are a variety of products to run on IIS which verify that
Referer comes from the originating website to prevent bandwidth
leaching like this.

David I took a look at LeechBlocker and it definitely can be used for
another problem on our webserver - picture hotlinking but unfortunately it
can't be used to stop an html file from linking. He is linking to data pages
that I generate from a database. I will read up on ISAPI filters. I've never
used them before - perhaps there is a way to write one to handle this
problem.
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
