Dear experts,

Please I would like to know how to arbitrarily specify how long any PC on my LAN can access the Internet and once that time has elapsed, access should be denied. I have thought of using Windows Firewall API, but I don't know how to go about it.

Please, I would love to know how to achieve this time-based Internet access restriction using C# or VB.Net code through whatever technique you deem necessary.

Thanks in advance.

An external proxy server would do this. You'll either buy one off-the-shelf or have tow rite your own. I sure hope you know TCP/IP, Sockets, proxy servers and standards, ...
