Whether this can be done or not, I'd like to say thanks all the same

Hi there.


I was away for a good while but i'm back, don't know for how long though.



Yes there are ways to limit lockout users of networks, weather it is within windows or better yet the router itself, but, it is sometimes quite involved.

But before doing that, who's paying for the internet and the router? And you REALY should talk the the guy before tampering with the hardware, if you haven't already, because if you do tamper with the hardware and limit his internet incustions he may take it personally.
