I want to limit the time my son is on the internet to two houra per day.  Does anyone know of a way to set that up in Windows, or any program that might do the job?  :)

hahaha, i see his being a teenager is getting to you already:)
as for the time, isnt there a program that may work, a simple internet limiter search may work

Let me know if you find anything. I could do with one of those gizmos myself - & I live alone....!

Or...
...you could take my previous advice and revert back to a 56k, dial-up modem with a two hour cut-off period.... ...!
(..like us poor folks over here have to put up with)... ..!

Foz me old sunshine. This might not be such a bad idea. I shall have to give it some thought.

Only two hours? That's not much, of course I use the internet 24 hours a day


I'm not sure how you would be able to limit internet time. I don't think there's a function in windows for that, atleast I couldn't find one in XP. You might have to buy some software for this

..or an external modified timer fitted with relay contacts and a pair of sockets for modem input/output.... ...!

..or, the ultimate deterrent... ...!
Threaten to charge him for Internet time... ...!

Just tell him to get off the thing and get his arse in gear. The best way is to tell him that you are planning to cancel the internet subscription and if he wants it, he can pay for it himsef.

Hey, that's what my mom did, She told me to either limit my time to nights only, or buy another phone line and pay for internet to. So that's what I did

My time is limited to two hours >:( >:( >:( 8-10pm  >:( >:( .

Sorry, it wasn't my idea...  I swear!

56k? omg...welcome to the stone age.

Ah! The joys of Parenthood

Don't be too hard on him-perhaps he's only following someone else's example

Below you will find two links. The first is a link to a daily time limiter, may not be what you are looking for as you would be limiting your time online as well as the kids.
The second link is to a page with several links to tools that are able to limit time on the internet, along with ALOT of other stuff. Regardless of what you get don't get the idea in your head that it will work for long as most "kids" can do things with computers that most "adults" didn't even know was possible, or at least that is the way it worked in my family .
