NO, You didn't understand. With dial up, I had to put in a password before my
kids could go online, then I could keep a close eye. With this DSL, it is on
all the time, I cannot control when they log on if I'm not home, therefor I
cannot always see what they are doing.
The computer is in a public room, I do look at history files, ect, I just
want to keep them off the internet if I'm not there. I don't care whose user
name it is, I want to password protect access.
