Hello,
Before I explain, I have a question for you...
How can I discreetly stop an internet connection remotely on a local network, on a specific workstation?
The setup: Two devices at home connected via Wi-Fi to a Livebox (one laptop, one desktop)
Why: To put an end to the constant arguments with my daughter over her chatting on MSN, I would like to be able to cut off her connection from time to time (in the evening), as if it were a network failure. (Yes, I know it's a bit sneaky, but she responds more easily to such technical inevitabilities than to constant directives... pre-adolescence, you know).
Details: I have already set up parental controls, defined hours, but occasionally she needs the computer and the internet for her classes.
Even though I'm an IT professional, I'm not a network specialist and I don't have any practical and discreet solutions in mind to do this.
1) VNC: Taking control of the server workstation is obvious and not discreet (the screen color changes)
2) Removing the Wi-Fi association from the concerned workstation… too cumbersome as it requires a "reconfiguration" afterward.
3) Unplugging the Livebox, but then I would lose my connection too.
So, if you have a solution, I'd be interested; if not, no worries, it'll just end up in another usual argument.
Thank you, in advance.Configuration: Windows XP

Hello,
If you have an Orange Livebox, you can find the connection time management in the settings of the Livebox (generally, go to your browser, type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar, then user=admin and password=admin).
Next, you look for your daughter's iPod in the list of connected devices, then in the time management settings, you configure this connection).
In the case of another box (Freebox, Dartybox, SFRbox, Bbox, Pastabox, Gantsdebox), look for that same feature (if it exists).
To do this remotely, simply set up the DynDNS service on the Livebox and allow remote connection.
Have a good day.

From now on, all Liveboxes allow you to set time slots for Internet connection. The time slot can be configured for each PC.
Translation: From now on, you can block your child's Internet access without blocking your PC's Internet access.
For example, we want to block CELINE's PC from midnight to 7 AM.
Access the Livebox: http://192.168.1.1/
Enter the password: admin and admin
Click on Advanced Configuration
Click on Firewall, then on Policies
Click on Advanced Filtering
In the Incoming Rules table, at LAN Wireless 802.11g Access Point Rules, click on New Entry
In Source Address, choose the name of the PC to block, here it is CELINE
In Activity Duration, choose: Specify the program, then click on add
Check the box that the rule will be active at the scheduled time
In the table, click on New Access Limitation
Choose the days of the week when you want to block CELINE's PC; in this example, it's every day so I check Monday,......Sunday
In the table, click on Add a New Time Slot
In start time, leave 00:00 and in end time, set 07:00
Click OK
Click OK
Click OK
Click Refresh, then OK
CELINE's PC is blocked from midnight to 7 AM
If this procedure does not work, update the Livebox software: advanced configuration, Tools, Update
Best regards

Hello,
I've been looking for days and days for a solution to set connection time for my son who is on Wi-Fi with the Livebox. For now, I've been disconnecting the Wi-Fi from my main PC in the Livebox settings, but this solution suits me much better.
I'll test it starting tonight.
One question though, if he is connected, will it automatically disconnect him, or does it only work if he is not connected before the allowed time frame? Can we modify the time slots later if we find that they don't really suit us?
Thanks for your answers,

Hello Damien,
The commands you mentioned are for a Sagem Livebox and not for an Inventel.
What I’m looking for now is a DOS command (to be placed in a batch) that cuts the Internet (or network) connection and then a command that restores the network.
The idea is as follows:
At startup of the computer, the connection is cut off, and the kid can use the computer to do his homework with Encarta or use Word, Excel, etc.
Then, if he wants to go online, he waits for me to come home from work, and from my (parent) session, I run a batch that reconnects the network. Then when the kid turns off the computer, the command will cut the network off at the next startup.
I have already tried parental control software, but they are too heavy, and the scheduling is useless, as my children can only go online when they ask me to and if I agree. Moreover, some software doesn’t work when the connection is already established.
So, if anyone knows a command of the type “net xxx”, I’m interested.
Have a good evening.

This DOS command does exist!
It is the NET USER command.
You can get more information using the NET USER /HELP command.
Take a closer look at the /TIMES option; it should meet your needs.
As for me, I fixed the issue with a Lynksys WiFi router (in access point mode) in addition to the Livebox Pro (in router mode).
Best regards.

A simple solution would be to add a dummy route to the system.
Normally, all data packets destined for the internet are sent by the PC to the IP address of the livebox (the notion of "default gateway").
One can easily tell the system to send these packets elsewhere, into the void, to an IP address that does not exist. I believe the addresses behind a livebox are in 192.168.1.x. It is sufficient to choose an unused address (outside the DHCP range, therefore). Let's suppose we choose the address 192.168.1.123. We then type the following command:
route -p add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.123 metric 1
This command adds ("add") a "route" to the system indicating that all packets destined for the internet ("0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0") must be sent to the address 192.168.1.123 on the local network. And at this address, there is nothing. From then on, one can no longer access the internet from this machine, whether for MSN, browsing, or anything else.
This route is said to be persistent (option "-p") because it is always present after a reboot. Restarting the computer will not restore internet access. The option "metric 1" ensures that this setting takes precedence over the gateway already defined on the system (the livebox).
The only way to regain internet access is to delete this route by typing the following command:
route delete 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.123
And everything goes back to normal.
I just tested this method on my computer with MSN, it's radical. (NB: Messenger takes a minute or two to detect the disconnection)
It seems to me that the specifications have been met.

Hello,
what if you made a "contract" with your daughter... explaining your desires and trusting her from the outset.
Parents shouldn't "deceive" their children.
This is just my personal opinion, I don't claim to hold the truth.

Hello,
In my opinion, Verni, you must know what you're talking about, because that's exactly it (it feels like you've lived it). I would like to point out that, on the other hand, I am still a bit lucky because the little one does very well at school.
Well, now the problem is solved because the new Livebox (Livebox 2) allows managing all connections and determining ranges or limits for connections.
Thank you for participating in this question which has been around for a little while now.
Have a nice day.

Remote administration is a solution, but it will be noticeable. I just thought of this: if you use DHCP on your Wi-Fi network and your daughter isn't good with computers, the thing is, when you want her to go to bed, you disable DHCP, so no more IP address, hence no internet.

Disabling DHCP mode implies a sort of "reboot" of the router, plus on the concerned device, I am on a static IP (for VNC specifically, and other software requiring a static IP (local)).
I will do some research on VNC-type applications (remote control) in silent mode, that is to say, no icon on the device, no visible mouse pointer, and no color changes on the screen of the device to be controlled). Ideally, it would be some sort of trojan, but I really don’t want to install such a beast on the device. I also saw something online called "Silent VNC" that might correspond to my searches.
If I were using powerline adapters, I know it would be possible to disable a power outlet from my laptop via the software provided with the hardware (Devolo, for example), I will also consider this solution, but it involves purchasing powerline adapters.
As much as the Livebox isn’t too bad, it lacks the features you would find on real routers like Lynksys or Dlink, for example.
There would also be the TSE solution, but the device to control is running XP Home and apparently it needs to be running XP Pro to implement this solution. (TSE being native to XP Pro)
In any case, thank you for your help.

Yes, yes: You click on the connected equipment (here, a computer), and then at the bottom, it says "Block this equipment" and that's it!! Except that it completely freezes (no time slots; ...).
You click on the connected equipment (here, a computer), and then it says: "Block during certain time slots" or "Block this equipment at specific times" something like that!!!!!
And that's it (I also had a Livebox).

And that's it (I also had a Livebox).
At this moment, you can set time slots on your router (livebox); I'm not sure if this is possible with the livebox.
That means you can block internet access from 9:00 PM to 7:00 AM for your daughter, but all of this is managed from the router.
For more options, log in to your livebox.

No, there are no settings for time slots on the Livebox, I have already reviewed the router settings. As for this type of configuration, I already have it in the parental controls of the concerned device, but it's not practical at all, because sometimes, for justified reasons, I have to temporarily suspend it (when I give them permission, for example a little time overrun).
The ideal solution would be a remote control software like "VNC" or "PC Anywhere" that wouldn't be visible on the device being controlled. Moreover, I don't intend to read their messages, but just to disconnect the internet connection in a discreet manner (like oops, network outage, go to bed you'll try again later).

Hello everyone,
Good news for me, the problem is resolved (in a way).
It was one of the members of the Kaspersky forum who gave me this idea (thanks to him), here are the main points, unfortunately I don’t have time to go into detail. I will try to fill this all in later. But the experienced among you will understand the principle very well and will know how to apply it.
For your information, the protected account is on XP. A Parent session and a Children session. The Parent session is Admin (and protected by a password), the Children session is on “limited rights.”
THE PRINCIPLE: When the computer (specifically Windows) starts, ensure that the “DHCP service” is stopped. And create a shortcut on the Parent session’s desktop that restarts the DHCP service.
The child can turn on the computer to do homework or any other activities present on the PC, but cannot access the internet and spend their afternoon on MSN (believe me, it calms things down). It is therefore the “parent” who will establish the connection on request by logging into their session and clicking on the appropriate shortcut.
When the PC is turned off, the next day, in your absence, the connection will be cut off (make sure that the child has turned off the PC properly in the evening and hasn’t put it in sleep mode… they can be cunning). Normally, in their session, they cannot reactivate the “DHCP service.”
THE COMMAND TO REACTIVATE THE CONNECTION: NET START DHCP
HOW TO DO IT:
First, create a shortcut on the Parent desktop that restarts the connection
=> Right-click on the desktop / new / shortcut / enter the command: net start dhcp / give the shortcut a name: Start Connection (dialog box may vary slightly depending on XP or Vista)
Note: If you wish, you can also create a shortcut to stop the connection (in the same manner as above, but replacing "net start dhcp" with "net stop dhcp" and naming the shortcut "Stop Connection" for example)
STOPPING THE DHCP SERVICE ON STARTUP:
Right-click on “My Computer” or “Computer” then “MANAGE” then look for “SERVICES” then locate the “DHCP CLIENT” service, double-click on it (or go to properties) and in ‘Startup type’ choose “MANUAL.” (in Vista, you can also search 'services' through the start button and field: "search")
Result: the PC will start without a connection and you will activate it using the shortcut found on your session's desktop.
The main drawback of this technique (which could perhaps be resolved by a good soul) is that, contrary to what I thought, network devices are not accessible (network printer, networked computers, etc.), but this is not the majority of configurations at home (if anyone has ideas, I’m open to suggestions).
There you go, I have kept it brief, don’t hesitate (pros) to make comments or simplify my explanations. Everything works perfectly for me regarding blocking the net.
Note 1: I will not mark this subject as “resolved” right away (there may be other solutions)
Note 2: (for the experienced): there’s also the possibility of doing this through a batch file on startup (net stop dhcp), but it’s less convenient and more visible… I’ve tested it.
Have a good evening.

To solve your problem, download "msnbuster," it's free. You can configure it with time slots for each user, daily duration, and the time range from..to.. etc., as well as the actions to be executed: stopping internet actions, logging off, shutting down the system with the option to prohibit downloads if you want. You will be satisfied.
Hello,
Here is my problem and it's the same as yours, poulpenstring, except that I was too lenient and it paid off at the end of the year: my daughter failed her baccalaureate... (she admits to having spent too much time on MSN...)
I have 3 computers at home connected to the Neuf Box 4. The first PC1 is wired and located in my daughter's room, the second PC2 is also wired and is in my son's room, and mine PC3 is on Wi-Fi. All three of us are on the network and everything is fine.
The telephone is also connected to the NB4, unlimited calls...
The last school year was a disaster (failure at the BAC...) because of MSN and the rest... so I would like to know if it's possible to cut off internet access to PCs 1 and 2 from my PC 3 without having to unplug everything, just with a small maneuver... like a software that would cut internet access
Thank you for your help
Patricia

The mode is "brute force" on the computer, you use your PC as a gateway with a proxy firewall on Linux, the most complicated but the most effective, I assure you it will go to bed every day at 9:00 PM lol
Come on, courage!!!

Hi,
The Livebox allows you to adjust the security level of the integrated firewall; by setting it to the maximum level (input and output filtering), you can therefore lock/unlock the MSN ports at any time.
Result --> No more MSN, and the connection is still established so that it has internet access.

Good evening, when I go to bed around midnight, I plug in a timer (before it connects) that I set from 12:30 to 2:00 in the morning and that's it.
Thank you all for these initial responses.
For lhou07... Thank you, I will test this, but I remind you that my problem was the remote disconnection (from another workstation on the local network).
See you soon.

Well, I installed the parental control from "Orange" which allows me to somewhat manage the time slots. In fact, it works very well for the web, but much less so for MSN. Let's say that as long as she is connected, the program cannot be blocked.
Romu, your command is quite interesting, but it serves to shut down the computer remotely... (Why not after all, it’s a bit wild, but effective).
For those who are also looking for a solution on their side... I think the first thing is not to be on Wi-Fi with a Livebox, as it is quite stingy in features. You can dissociate a Wi-Fi device, but you have to re-associate it afterwards. You cannot temporarily disable a MAC address unlike most routers. It’s better to choose a powerline connection whose modules (the plugs) are remotely manageable.
The ideal is a parental control that works well.
Thanks again to all of you.
Have a good day.

Hello,
I have the same problem with my daughter... endless hours on the net in the evening, MSN, online games, blogs... and subsequently poor academic performance.
Anyway, I would like to block her connection in the evening, but on the Livebox, I don't have all the features described by Damien (no policy tab, etc.)
How can I do that?
Have you tested a solution that works well?
Thank you for your help.

Thank you for this interesting information.
However, I'm no longer on Wi-Fi on this workstation (Cpl) and my neighbor (sister-in-law) uses the Wi-Fi to connect to my box (not to mention my printer which is Wi-Fi, the PS3, my mobile (micro), my phone (Nokia)... In short, disrupting the Wi-Fi would not be particularly welcome.
So for now, I'm looking for a DOS command that would cut off the network of the concerned micro, a command that would be launched at startup of the computer. As well as the reverse command to reactivate the network from my session (parent session)
Have a good day.

Hi
I see your questions but not many concrete answers
The first thing to know is whether your Livebox is a "Sagem" or an "Inventel"
(the configuration is not the same)
Given the request dates, I will assume you have an "Inventel"
So don't worry about your time slots
You just need to simply cut the Wi-Fi connection (your master PC connected via Ethernet will remain connected)
You log into the Livebox (password 2X admin (if you haven't changed it))
configuration
security
802.11g
enable the wireless network
the left indicator will turn off on the Livebox
after clicking "submit"
and there you go, you're the only one with internet

Hello,
your solution implies that the network consists of one Ethernet connection and the others via Wifi. So it does not answer the question but it remains a good solution in the case you mentioned (by the way, I think I was in that configuration at the beginning). Furthermore, my connection is shared via Wifi with my neighbor (sister-in-law) which makes this solution not applicable (in my case).
The solution (to my question) has been provided by myself since yesterday. This solution may not be the best, but it works very simply, it is concrete and meets my request.
P.S.: I mark the topic as resolved.

Hello
indeed
in your case this solution is not acceptable
but I will keep this idea for beginners
so that they don't get too bored with the "dos" or other commands that can be intimidating, especially under VISTA or whenever you enter the system a window opens asking "do you want to continue"
this command will certainly find a taker one of these days !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
