Assembled illuminati: The naive networking problem is this; I have a very low cap 'HomeFibre Starter Plus' account with iPrimus; low cap being: 5GB/month 'on- peak' (noon to midnight) 10GB/month (midnight to noon). Since it doesn't cost me anything more; I have elected to share this account via wireless with 2 -4 other users gratis.I would like to restrict their access to 'off-peak' only...but 1/-manually switchng off wireless access on the Linksys E2000 router is possible; but too tedious. ............. -but it does have the capacity to restrict certain LAN IP addresses during certain hours The solutiion that I eventually arrived at; with some help from Cisco-support (Aust), was to forget about wireless and restrict access on-peak (10am to 2am..contradicting above !), to all but three LAN IP's; then set my machines to those three addresses. This is a very low cost (money, time and energy) solution; thanks to Tony and Jason for their suggestions which I may investigate later !; regards Rohan McLeod
