Okay George I told you I'm pretty ignorant about all of this stuff and  I can't 
understand why sometimes it does seem to stay on for longer - none of it makes 
sense to me at all.

We're just trying to look into he booklet to find the model number but my Dad 
doesn't know even as much as I do about it since he doesn't use the computer.

We've found a number Sans filter F5D7230-4  -  might that be it?

  The "Belkin 54G" sounds more like the SSID name, which I won't go into right 
now.  It's certainly not the model number.

  It's the parental control bit I can't figure.

  Hi George it's Belkin 54G.
  After a while it just goes back to normal without us doing a thing.

  The laptop stayed on for over an hour and just recently went off again it is 
just so weird I really don't know whether to go to the trouble of buying a new 
one or not.  It is about two years old and I do have a link for a firmware 
upgrade that someone else obtained from this list but I've no idea how to do it.

    Well it does very much look as though some kind of Parental Control has 
been activated.

    Can you remind me as to exactly what make and model of router you have?  It 
is entirely possible that it may just have some kind of Parental Controls built 
in which have been activated.

    I'll see if I can then find a manual for the router and see if that could 
be the case.

    George.

    I was going to look on a website just now:  strangely this time the laptop 
seems to be staying connected for longer and this is the message I got when I 
tried to go onto the internet and we get it from tie to time - it will be on 
all our computers usually when the internet connection has gone off for some 
reason and we're never sure why:  does this mean anything to you George because 
we don't have any parent control  lock on any website we don't know how.
