I set custom levels and even tried to block movie and podcast, but it doesn't seem to block anything.

  Do you use OpenDNS at all?  http://welcome.opendns.com/
  You must use OpenDNS before you can even think to "set custom levels and even tried to block movie and podcast".
  If you don't use OpenDNS yet, something went wrong with the configuration of the OpenDNS resolver addresses.

  Only if you're already using OpenDNS, is your IP address information correctly registered with your network?

  This must be, else OpenDNS cannot associate your DNS queries with your settings.

  Also, it is recommended to flush your caches, else you're still served out of them if you surfed sites before you want to have blocked.

  Ah, just seeing, you posted under "Netgear Live Parental Controls".  Does this mean you're using a Netgear router with LPC enabled?  If so, then my previous instructions are not the right ones for you, because these are the instructions for OpenDNS without Netgear/LPC.

  Hi 11sblaxley,

  Would you please OpenDNS support ticket with us. That way we can have you run our diagnostic tool.

  Thank you,
