time restriction for access to internet

Can anyone tell me how I can prevent people ie the kids !!) from logging on to net at certain times of the day? !! ie settings or software ?
Thanks, Duncan

 

Duncan1 Hi

You'd need to tell the forum you're OS and version of IE

You might think about just taking the plug off the PC,, and hid it.

Duncan1--No experience, but I suspect you will need some third-party software, if any such exists. Here is a very long list of potentials from a Google search.

I have no idea whether any control the time of day. And even if it did, I would think the kids might figure out to change the PC's time.

Good luck!! Hope someone else with experience will chime in.

P.S. If the PC is now in the kids' room, might it be possible to move to some place more easily seen?

 

Thanks Welsh jim and Lonny Jones. Perhaps I am looking for a steam roller to squash an ant !!

 

Duncan1 Hi

You can prevent PC use till you turn it on ,or depening on you're
os prevent other users from certian activities,
I dont know of a way to prevent internet access at only certain times,

Basicly if you dont have windows XP you're out of luck, theres things we can do but if the kids are sharp they can get around it.

So tell us(Welshjim and others)who is you'r isp and OS and IE version

Just a thought! Went looking around in XP. Have a look at Scheduled Tasks, not sure if you could configure it to work.
