| 89466 | 2002-10-15 10:57:00 | Just wondering.. Is there a thing out or around or even possible to use to "disconnect" the internet at a specific time.. Say u have a download going all nite..and knowing ur not suppose to..and u want to have the internet cut off at a specific time..say 2-3am after 3 hour download when no one is using computer...then it would do that... Is that even possible? |

If it doesn't see any of that type of input it will diconnect. Soooo, if you set the disconnect if idle to say three hours theory says that it should disconnect. |

| 89470 | 2002-10-15 19:24:00 | My Web Time internet connection timer will disconnect from the internet at a time chosen by you. It will not close your PC down though, so Mike's option may be the best one if you want to do that. | Susan B (19) | ||
| 89471 | 2002-10-15 19:32:00 | The problem is that IE's auto disconnect only works across the http protocol. Downloads usually use ftp or other protocols which IE traditionally doesn't detect. Have a look around Nonags (www.lisp.com.au) I think I've seen something there. |

| 89472 | 2002-10-15 19:37:00 | I can shut down my pc with a timer, theres one in power settings..right click desktop..properties and screensaver tab, then "power" and it says when to turn off monitor/hard disk or hibernate... And if i get a timer to disconnect..then i can set the computer to shut down hard drive 10-15 mins after internet disconnection or something.. am using winxp home by the way... and downloads with kazaa.... |
