Re: how to block access

Re: how to block access
Vista and Win7 both have built in parental controls that can restrict the times that a user account can log in.

Re: how to block access
The parental controls aren't in XP at all, but are in the Home Premium versions of both Vista and Win7. Not much point them being restricted to higher versions as it's Home Premium users that will mostly want it.

Re: how to block access
My router has the facility to block access to any PC connected to it. It appears to allow blocking by service, time of day etc. I am using a buffalo router running its DD-WRT version (suplied by Buffalo) I am sure there will be other routers that will do this for you. Mine will block by MAC address and/or IP address.
You could try a search, there may even be information available on cable forum.
