Members IamBurnout Posted September 4, 2010 Members Share Posted September 4, 2010 If you go through a router, you can set limits and times on internet activity. For most routers, it's http://www.routerlogin.net/ login: adminpassword: password Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members timme_v Posted September 5, 2010 Members Share Posted September 5, 2010 This may be a stupid response and I don't want to sound condesending, but if you don't need the network at all, why not just pull out the network cable/turn off wireless?

Members Ovid9 Posted September 5, 2010 Members Share Posted September 5, 2010 So....it appears putting time blocks on the router or modem isn't going to work? You didn't really respond to that suggestion and there may be other ways to do what you'd like that don't involve special software. Is it a single computer you need it disabled on? What about just disconnecting it from the network and not having the password saved? They couldn't reconnect without the password? I didn't see any add-ons to FF that would do something like this either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be such a useful app. Go Firefox, do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members melx Posted September 5, 2010 Members Share Posted September 5, 2010 an app for an internet browser that stops you connecting to the internet huh? I don't really see why Firefox would be interested in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
