VB Forum / Win API / July 2007Any ideas how to start this?
Hi All, One of my friends has child who he wold like to terminate from the wireless network at a specific time each evening. The Router settings allow him to manually terminate the IP and disconnect from the LAN however he would like this to be automated on a timer. I said I'd look into creating an app to do this for him, but I'm not sure where to start with this one. Any pointers? in <eQ#j05e0HHA.4928@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl> >Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >this to be automated on a timer.

It seems to me that any Router that allowed such programmatic settings could be easily controlled by bad guys. :-( I use a NETGEAR FVS318 which allows you to set up rules according to a schedule. Perhaps your friend should look at a router with better options. --- Stefan Berglund > One of my friends has child who he wold like to terminate from the wireless > network at a specific time each evening.

Maybe point your friend here: http://www.mainsoft.fr/en/pctwbuy.htm If the kid doesn't run as administrator, this'll do it.  Signature.NET: It's About Trust! http://vfred.mvps.org Thanks Karl, just what I needed to get me doing something more productive I'll pass on this info and forget about it :) Stafan, I take your point and fully agree but I was thinking more along the lines of creating a remote admin app that could turn off the wireless rather than trying to access the Router itself. Anyway thanks for your comment. >> One of my friends has child who he wold like to terminate from the >> wireless [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > If the kid doesn't run as administrator, this'll do it. |
