I have a home network that I have connected to the internet via router with NAT. It is an SMC Barricade. I love it. However, I have set up scheduling rules that close down all ports at Midnight to restrict access from my kids after I go to bed. However, if they have an open connection to a web page or ongoing chat via MSN Messenger, it does not shut them down. They cannot open any new connections or web pages, but anything open is able to continue.

How can I get it to just close them immediately?

what you can do is..schedule a shut down..and how you do that is

this website shows how to make an icon on your dekstop to shut off or log off your pc with one click...so all you have to do is schedule that icon to run..

Thanks, Robbie. That did the trick. However, I coulnd't get the "-t" or "-c" switches to work properly with "-l", only "-s".
