Only two hours? That's not much, of course I use the internet 24 hours a day Grin


I'm not sure how you would be able to limit internet time. I don't think there's a function in windows for that, atleast I couldn't find one in XP. You might have to buy some software for this

Just tell him to get off the thing and get his arse in gear. The best way is to tell him that you are planning to cancel the internet subscription and if he wants it, he can pay for it himsef.

Below you will find two links. The first is a link to a daily time limiter, may not be what you are looking for as you would be limiting your time online as well as the kids.
The second link is to a page with several links to tools that are able to limit time on the internet, along with ALOT of other stuff. Regardless of what you get don't get the idea in your head that it will work for long as most "kids" can do things with computers that most "adults" didn't even know was possible, or at least that is the way it worked in my family Grin.
