Preventing internet access with router

[Johnpk]

Hello all, I have a 2 computer network set up at home using a LinkSys 4-port router. Everything works great, network games,file shareing,and internet access. my machine has Win2k my sons WinME.
My problem is this...my son is only 10 and I want him to be able to use the computer when ever he wants but only access the net when I want him to. Can this be done using the router or is there another way I need to do this?? Thanks for any help you can give!

Just unplug the cat5 cable.

On one of the router's configuration screens, there is an option that allows you to cut off internet access, based on the PC's IP address. Of course, if you are using DHCP server, you may need to manually set the IP address, each time your son reboots the PC.

The linksys also allows you to cut off access based on the port number your son's PC is connected to, IIRC.

You guys are great. After taking your advise AND using the help feature with LinkSys(Should have looked there first) I filtered his port. Thanks Again!
