Easy and simple question,

Is there anywa i can set a limit on how long a user is logged on to the domain?

OR is there a way i can tell the client (XP Pro Clients) that after say, 4 hours, d/c the user from the outside world (Net)?

I dont have a router (yet), am looking to buy one, i think i probably need one of these to do what i want, but is there anyone with any suggestions?

The problem is i have a user who wastes way to much time on the net, need to somehow restrict this user to 2 hours or so per day.

Thanks to anyone who answers... Ill try and check this to respond to any questions... :) thanks guys/girls

I know there is a tool to limit concurrent connecitons...

Install the Windows 2000 Resource Kit tool named CConnect.exe on each client computer. This tool, in conjunction with an .adm file supplied by the tool, can perform the following functions:
- Limit concurrent connections per user.
- Log off remote computers when concurrent connections are reached.
- List all computers that a user is logged on to.
- List logon servers for each user.
- Show how many users are logged on to a domain controller (DC).
- Force a logoff when concurrent connections are reached.
- Enable debugging of the CConnect tool.
- Write events to the event log of a specified server concerning the status of the CConnect tool.
- Save all lists to a file for further examination.
- Track the last user of the computer and only limit that user from logging on to the computer if the computer was shut down improperly.

I have this tip written someplace, I will try and locate.
