538985 2007-04-08 04:54:00 Here's my thinking...
My brother sits at his PC and plays COD2 online all day long, it's killing him. What I need is a way to turn off his access to the internet without it affecting mine. I go to my router options (192.168.1.2) and under NAT it has:

Advanced NAT Configuration

This page allows you to configure the Network Address Translation options.
NAT: Disabled/Enable
Mode: NAT / NAPT / Dynamic NAPT

Status
Session Name:
User's IP:
Action: Add / Delete

NAT Bindings

Number of NAT Configurations 0

Number of Sessions 0


So how (if possible) can I configure this to just accept me? I'm thinking entering my internal IP address to this list thing? But I dont have a static IP set up.
Note: IF I choose to 'disable' NAT then nobody has access, so the goal is to open my access only

538986 2007-04-08 05:51:00 do you think this is a good way to encourage brotherly relations
try talking to him about this concern
if you succeed, remember, the meaning of revenge

538987 2007-04-08 06:16:00 ha.. let me worry about that, getting him away from the computer is the first step. All I'm looking for here is some advice for the router setup. jamesyboi (6579)
538988 2007-04-08 06:19:00 Better way is to use the firewall and only allow his IP access at certain times of the day. ughnz (8297)
538989 2007-04-08 06:28:00 Definitely talk to him, rather than trying something like that. You'll only end up with him asking others how to hack it, which could end up badly for both of you.

aah, brotherly love.... Don't worry, it gets worse when your partner decides you've had enough of being in front of the PC all the time.

you obviously looked at NAT may I make recommendation look at the dhcp area of your router and the methods it uses to allocate ips (Hint) may help

538992 2007-04-08 18:00:00 Why use the IP address to block him.

Try looking up info on MAC address for your modem/router. You should be able to lock him out of the modem/router via MAC address and then only the PC you let in will have access

538993 2007-04-08 18:14:00 I think the MOST obvious question about this offending brother and his habits is:


Is he larger than you?

If Yes . . then be careful as paybacks are nasty .

If No . . . then go for it .

How old are you two anyway? :D
