^^^Same problem as mine .

Tell them that your internet connection is CUT and if they say anything , Say i will tell to Veeroo DADA

then wat if they see my adsl modem connected to the phone cable during surprise visits as they usually do...

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

what a downer !! just tell them u r busy !! any time all time !!
or say your parents are complaining that you are losing time coz of them that's all they should get it

[zyberboy]

install any free firewall and block the browser

[Quiz_Master]

Tell them u have a limited bandwidth connection. Ask them to pay you, from next day they won't come.

[Cool G5]

I also have a friend of mine who used to come sometimes for net.
I told him politely that it's irritating me & also burning hole in pocket.
Voila! from next day he started visiting Cyber for his work.
You just have to be polite & frank.Your friends should understand .

[aryayush]

^^^ That is the ideal solution.

wat if i block the browser thru windows firewall??
will that work?

[praka123]

make a screenshot of ur desktop and open it full screen to say that system is hanged.

[Garbage]

^^ never think that u can make all ur friends all time fool.
Some are clever enough (as me )

isnt there any software which can restrict the connectivity..???
the firewall system didnt worked.. opera still was able to download web pages..

Who is veeroo DADA

[Garbage]

Use ZoneAlarm Firewall. It has a function to stop all Internet activities AT ONE CLICK.

So, whenever ur friends come to ur home, just stop all Internet activities,

[24online]

i think telling friends for not to use internet may break f`rdship... and they r also smart as we....
so it is better to move some file of broswer or router or modem by which ur friend cant do internet... and if u want to do net, just move file to original place..... see which files r essential or not as i dont have much info abt it...

[ThinkFree]

You can use a software like safety.net to block internet access for particular hours when they visit your home.

[phreak0ut]

If you are on BSNL broadband, you can go the router settings page and with one click disconnect the connection. Once you do that, the 'light' on the page will be red. So, try what you may, it won't download webpages. You can also try the method of blocking the net through ZA firewall like Shirish told.

no none of them...
and for future protection that may b they can access this forum i hav posted this thread with a new ID..
Plz moderators dont mind..
i had to do this for security reasons...

[clmlbx]

yes i have the solution , I did too, I told my friends that I have combo connection ( phone and internet ) and taken night unlimited plan . so family uses the free benefits ( amount of money isp gives u as free usage ). so I can not use internet in day, and I use internet at night between 9 pm to 6 am . ........................ and I told this to my friends as this is only the truth........u can also tell this to ur friend as a lie to be saved from deneying them

so no problem, I guess they can not come so late to someone's house .



howzz that

[Faun]

dont make too many frens...u should be content with few good frens
and a good fren understands.

[Garbage]

^^^... what a suggestion....

DON'T MAKE FRIENDS.... bcoz... they may use ur Internet connection....

[~Lil JinX~]

Er, this is actually an issue? Lol, tell them to take a hike! They'll understand. If they don't, and don't want to talk with you or something because your not letting them use your net connection all day, then you seriously need to reconsider the sort of "friends" they are.

[gary4gar]

simple change the password & use a wrong password to connect
thats it
say that you have complained to bsnl but no avail. also say that it only connects in nights after 2 am becasue of server error.

else say that your dad has restricted your net access & changed the pass so you can't connect

that pretty much solves the problem...if u hav got frens like that then its better off without frens and get hold of ur twitchy friend making attitude...i hate buggers

yeah the second solution obviously is to tell ur frens frankly and if they understand u then viola u hav some really good frens else u will get the real picture of ur fren circle.

[gaurav_indian]

Just say that "I have night unlimited plan and i cant use internet during daytime becoz its not free at daytime"
