I'm lazy and I'm sure one of you is bound to have the answer for me rather than me scour the hundreds of thousands of hits I'm getting.
My sister is rather....irresponsible (at the ripe age of 24). So I've been charged with finding a way to cut off her internet at a specified time every night. Is it possible? Would I need some third-party program to say disable/enable her network card? What say you?
And on a side note: Ubuntu wouldn't install on my computer (rather the partitioner would lock up every time). Very sad 'cause everything I saw from the live CD made me happy. I think I'm going to try Mandriva One next unless y'all have a better second alternative.

Do you share a router with your sister? Those usually have access restrictions you can set.

Ah the simplest answer is usually the right one.
I forgot about just running restrictions through the router.
It worked. Capital idea ol' chap.

Matt:
Oh did I mention it's taken her 7 years and 3 schools to get an associate's degree. I didn't? Well that's 'cause she still doesn't have it. 7 and counting.
Drew:
You don't want my sister. That's like walking into a bar and picking the ugly fat chick to go home with. No honor in getting her.

What you don't understand is that Drew was never in the game for the honor.
I've had to add a bandwidth limit on our wireless router because one of my room mates is always torrenting shitty hentai all the time. I'm cranky when I can't come home and watch my own shitty tv shows in my underwear.
