how can i deny internet to one of the system in a switch

hey nbr,
i use a netgear ethernet switch.to connect internet to two of my sys at my hme.my uncle who s next to my apt askd me to link his computer also as he needed one for just little official work.but the prob is that his son is using it @ night to dwnload smething i guess.i dont get any bandwidth at that time..i cannt discconect the cable as he may take it wrong..so tell me way by which i can deny him or fix a specified bandwidth only at night..any sooftware that i could use. coz i plug the ethernet from my dsl to the 1st slot,mine to the next,my uncled in the 4th...

 

Ban his mac address in the router you can set times when it's allowed in most routers.

 

i dont use a router i just use a switch

 

Then perhaps the answer to your question is: time to switch to a router (specifically, one that will allow you to impose time or bandwidth limits based on MAC addresses).

 

Chop his Ethernet. Or log onto the computer and disable the network adaptor via device manager.

 

List ALL your equipment including model numbers (cable/dsl modem, switch). What is the IP address for YOUR Machine.

In all liklihood, your cable/dsl modem is a combination modem/router, as very few ISPs allow multiple IP addresses to a single account.

You may be able to limit things at the modem/router level, or if it is a managed switch (don't think netgear has them, but maybe I am wrong--without the model number, I cannot say).

If you just have a plain dumb switch and a basic modem, your network isn't likely to work.

 

Bandwidth limitation is a pretty advanced feature that most home routers dont have. Your best bet is to look into getting a DDWRT compatible router.

 

Not necessarily. The netgear - with the original firmware - I have allows me to put time limits on when a particular system that connects to the network can access the internet.

 

Router , you must get one
but choose wisely

 

That's not a bandwidth limit, that's just a time limit.
They're talking about limiting his speeds to be lower at certain times, not cut it off completely.

 

as the OP has thus far failed to provide full information, or even return, it is kind of academic...
