Re: parental controls dilemma :o(

unfortuneately the simpler the interface the simpler it wil be to by pass in fact any software solution will be a waste of time if the child is willing to plug it back in to bypass your wishes

if they are using wireless though and you are at home you can switch that on and off manualy from the routers control page

otherwise have a look at a new router but go to thier web site first download the instructions on them and see if they look easier to you I am fairly used to Linksys and therefore find it easy but I uderstand others wont but you might like one of the other makers methods easier

though again that said what ever you do will be easily bypassed if they wont obey the rules unfortuneately

on your router have you tried the access restrition tab if you have did you use the ip if you did the pc only has to get a diferent one then it will be back on easily try using the mac number should work better thoughits not that hard to alter the mac on the laptop
