For a long time I was running "Network Magic" on the PC. It would map out all the devices on the network nicely. Every now and then i would just click the "disconnect this device" button and cut off other computers. It was like a mystery why the internet would come and go. "Hea it must be a computer thing, I'll fix it later". They never did figure out what was going on.

I have seen software that can limit the time connected and control where the computer surfs to. Always thought that I should remember what it was as it looked handy. I always forgot anyway. There are solutions ya just ned to find them when ya need them.

Network Magic is cool for all sorts of stuff. There is a free version.

Just kick 'em off the d*** computer! :-P

Place the computers - all of 'em - in a public place in the house
so no unapproved surfing can occur.

Don't know about disconnecting the connection, tho...

Hey all,

I'm having a small problem with internet usage by some member of
this household. What I'm looking to do is limit internet times. I
have AT&T DSL it feeds through a router? to the 2 PC's and 4
wireless devices. I will need to control 1 pc and several
wireless connections, Do they make something I can get to limit
indivual connections without having to pull wires and such. Do I
already have something in windows vista to help me here? Do they
make some kind of cool software where I can sit at my PC and dole
this out?

Any help at all?

Thanks
Craig


Glenn
