| 740003 | 2009-01-18 08:24:00 | Something like this? www.netnanny.com Computer Time Management How much time do your children spend on the computer each day? Parents can have Net Nanny limit time spent online to a specified period each day. |

If you have Vista on your son's laptop, set up two user accounts on his laptop, one as an 'admin' account and one for your son to use. Go to Parental Controls in Control Panel and set it up in there- on the admin account, applying settings to his account. |

| 740005 | 2009-01-18 09:12:00 | I know if you use the DD-WRT Firmware on your router that you can setup Time Limits, though I dont know if that works on those D-Link routers ... Unsure about allowing a certain device X-amount of usage, thats something most people simply try and keep a close eye on. If you have 1GB, then thats approx 30MB a day .. if you start going over 30MB a day, either send the young fella outside for a day or two, or perhaps look at a larger plan / different ISP. You'd be surprised at the pricing difference out there :) |

| 740008 | 2009-01-18 11:31:00 | I think Windows SteadyState has time restrictions? Im not sure if its "Between X & Y" or "X length per-day", but Im pretty positive you can set time restrictions! Free download from Microsoft, should be just what you're after! Works with WinXP :) |
