Internet connection software (cut off at a time)

SteveB_NI · 1 May 2006 at 02:14

Does anyone know of any software available which will disconnect a particular logged in user at a certain time from the Internet?

Note: its NTL Cable modem using a LinkSys wireless router (although the particular workstation on which the restriction is required is wired to the router).

Brother (I'm not playing dad here, I'm researching on his behalf!) seems uncapable of leaving his MSN friends before 2am, or worse on the weekends so an automatic disconnection at 1.30 or before would be nice.

Cheers for any help

Timed port filtering? just block all ports for say 1.30 to 7.

Yeah but I want to still be able to access the internet if necessary, just we want him to be offline and into bed at a decent time....

I'm researching on behalf of my dad as I explained above.

Its the source of many an argument at 1.30am etc when my dad finds he is still online on a school night. (he is 13). These arguments can become quite vocal and abusive so obviously must be stopped.
