Mourning the loss of our friend, WhitPhil.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but they're the easiest to answer.

Internet Curfews
A friend's internet seems to have a curfew on it, and we're not entirely sure how this occurs and how it can be removed. He is a computer administrator, the modem seems to be working fine and so does his computer. It registers completely, only there is a set time that his uncle had set up without his consent; we're not entirely sure how this takes place. We've had the firewalls removed and there seems to be no extra software, only the internet only allows him on from 7 PM to 11:30 PM. When we ping www.yahoo.com, we have a 0% loss. Any idea?
~~~

There must be some possible way to detect the program setting a curfew, in response to those who've stated it's hidden. Any idea how? We're having trouble contacting the uncle in question.


Using Windows XP.

*note: The uncle in question had no right to mess with the computer's configuration, he simply accessed an administrator account and believed himself to have the "right" to do what he did.

regardless of who set up what on the pc, I seriously doubt that we'd be able to help you to bypass any restrictions set on a pc in these forums. I understand your intentions, but your best bet is to contact the uncle in question.

I'll notify a mod and let them make the call.

thanks,

Closing thread, as mentioned about, restrictions are in place for a reason...take it up with the person who placed them.
