I have four pc's on home network and sharing the internet connection through
a Netgear DG814 router. My son always has a room full of his friends and
farting around on the internet chatrooms with Windows Messenger. I can never
seem to get rid of all these people.
Is it possible for me to disconnect him from the net with my pc also
connected to the router.
I could pull the plug out the router, but he would just put it back again
when my back was turned.
I dont want to permanently disconnect him, only when he has a room full of
people.
TIA

Have a look at the Filters options in the router control panel.

It doesn't seem to be possible with your router. You could bodge it,
but that would be fiddly. Bodges that spring to mind a
enter incorrect static routes for the servers that he's using
change the subnet settings so his machine isn't included
Neither of these is a single-click solution. I'm surprised that the
router doesn't have a simple facility to block local IP addresses and
ranges, but there's no mention of it in the manual that I looked at.

Your son & his chums may know more than you, and block you from your own
network...

:-)

Why not just talk to him?

Where is your router? just unplug the damned Ethernet cable to his room!

I think you need to learn parenting more than remote network access. If
you
can't rid of all the people from your own home then something is seriously
wrong.
