Hi, and thanks for reading this, I'd appreciate a little guidance if possible
our family have just bought a belkin wireless router that also has a four port switch so that everyone can share the broadband connection.
trouble is, my 14 year old can't seem to stop himself from playing web enabled games like star wars galaxies and is (in his bedroom) playing until way too late on a night. I've tried reasoning with him and whilst he agrees he's getting it all wrong (he's v tired at school) he just can't seem to help himself and stays on the web way too late on a night.
I've tried configuring the router so that it cuts him off at 10pm, (leaving the older children online) but it just doesn't seem to do it's job
can anyone advise the procedure for this? by leaving port settings blank does it mean it blocks them all? I've tried specifically setting port 80 to shut off but it doesn't, internet explorer works as if nothing has changed.
I realise tha the game probably uses different ports but have no idea what they are. what's the ideal port range and procedure to shut everything down on his pc?
thanks in anticipation
