| 377183 | 2005-08-01 07:27:00 | Is it possible to set an internet usage quota on a shared computer? We have a Win98SE computer that is sometimes shared. The main user is my partner, but occassionally her teenagers want to use it. I am happy with the idea, but don't want a situation where within a week our 3GB limit has been used (the teenager likes a site called launch.com where she can listen to music online). If the teenager has her own account on the computer, can I limit the internet usage; via software or other means (other than having to police constantly). Any suggestions welcome |

| 377186 | 2005-08-02 14:15:00 | Sounds like its a single computer situation, so the ADSL modem won't be much help. I don't know of any software solutions for this situation unfortunately. Net limiter (http://www.netlimiter.com) might be of help though.. Not a freebie though so cant download to have a play with it unfortunately. | roddy_boy (4115) | ||

| 377188 | 2005-08-02 21:06:00 | Thanx, had a quick look at NetLimiters site, I will have a decent look tonight when I get home, but it looks like it will be ideal | Myth (110) | ||
