I have a Windows ME operating system and I use Sify Broadband through cable for internet, how can I stop my brother from using the internet from my computer without changing the password for the broadband and without removing the cable wire, something without making him suspicious that I did something to stop the internet usage for short period of time and switched it back on later. :twisted: :

Hmm... You can use Firewall for that ..

Just engage Internet Lock feature of ZoneAlarm when you dont want anyone to use the net .. And Password Protect ZA so that noone else can change the settings ..

BTW why u want him to stop from using it :roll:
if for porn or other things ( no hard feelings) u can use parental control progies available that will not allow one to enter such sites.
poor brother :p

exactly wondering the same :s To top it hes an adult now ;) by the way how old are u ? lol .... No offences but theres an article in this digit issue has an article regarding a Canadian's right to use Internet :p page 181 " Banned from Net " with a line which states "Net access is a right of all citizens of earth" :p
Give him his space man! poor bro... how will he live without internet :roll:

Even i am on Sify broadband ... :) U can do one thing that is change ur network settigns when u r not surfing .... one more thing like in xp if u have 1394 connection(not sure whether its there in ME) in ur netwrok connections, bridge it wth ur local area network ... it might stop ur net untill u disable it ;) i had some problem which turned out to be a bridge ...damn! disabled it, it worked fine later .
If u r comfortable with registry tweaks do it that way by changing a registry key which would malfunction ur sify client or lan settings on change n restore the keys when u want to use it :)

Maybe he wants to do so for security' purpose... I KNOW a lot of mature and old people who just dont seem to understand the threats that are on the net ...

Batty, u dont disconnect a person from the internet for security.

Its like, cell phones are dangerous, people have accidents while talkin on them so i wont buy one....Wrong, so i wont use mine while driving.

if its for security, try explaining the stuff to ur bro.. hes 18, he shoud easily understand
