I look after a wireless network for a family with a teenage son. Said son has
a PC which connects to his (secured) home network, but which can also connect
to an unsecured network nearby. The family wish to restrict his net access to
certain times of day, but he is getting around this by connecting to the
unsecured network. The company with the unsecured network are not interested
in locking it down despite the risks.
Any ideas how the son's PC can be made to connect only to his home network?
It runs XP Pro, and the home net has static addressing, WPA, and MAC
filtering (so I'm not worried about others getting in, only him getting out).
The son has admin rights on his PC, so I'm looking for something like an
obscure registry hack that I can apply without him noticing.
