lets avoid a flamewar but discuss spanking your kids

Our router is a Linksys by cisco, model WRT120N.

ok browse to 192.168.1.1 , both the username and password is admin. once the page loads after logging in, go to the 'Access Restrictions' Tab and you should see all the filters available for your model.

Thanks.


None of our kids have a computer in their room, just the one in the living room. Our laptop is wireless, as is our oldest daughters computer. But when she comes home from college we have to turn off the modem and router for 10 seconds then turn it back on before she can access the internet. Same if we turn our laptop off at night .. . . we always have to 'reboot' the modem and router. Don't know if that has anything to do with filters or not or if that would cause a problem with using filters.

that isn't right and it might actually be bad beause when you power off the device for that long it 'forgets' its configuration and reverts to the default which would have the effect of removing the filter. Do you normally have a password on your router for people to connect? It might just be that your daughters laptop has the wrong password or is trying to connect without a password. either way its not supposed to be like that. also, you never enable MAC filtering right?

I don't know if it reverts back to the default or gets a new IP address. Our router is password protected but we don't have enter the password in order to connect to the router. Our old router blew up (literally, smoke poured out of it) so we got this new one a few months ago. Changed the password and the daughter also changed it and can log on but for some reason we need to 'reboot'. Her computer got some virus at school and the school geeks fixed it but ever since then we've had this problem. It's not just her computer though cause we turn our laptop off each night and even before we turn it on in the morning we turned the modem/router off then back on again and we connect, no problems. We've also noticed that we have to sometimes to this to get itunes homesharing to work.

I don't think we enabled MAC filtering. As far as I know we didn't enable any filtering but will double check.

I never got my license till I was 17 and thought even then that it was a good idea. Our oldest didn't get her permit till she was 16 1/2 and her license till she was 17. Had her first fender bender 1 month to the day of getting her license. My car. :rolleyes: We split the cost of the deductible with her and told her that was a one time only deal. The next accident it was all on her.

She didn't have her own car till last summer so junior and senior year of h.s. she was dropped off/picked up for work until she got her license then she took one of our cars, usually mine. She didn't like driving a big car (honda pilot) but it's good to be familiar with big and little cars, imo. Her first year at college (last year) I drove to and from many, many times. Another reason why we limited her college choices to ones that were within a reasonable driving distance. ;) She saved up and bought a 1999 Toyota Corolla last summer. She put a good down payment on it and we lent her the rest. She is paying us back each month. It'll take her 5 years to pay us back at the rate she's going but hey, she sure does take good care of that car. She pays for her insurance, although we do have her on our policy. I don't like this at all and would rather her have her own policy but it is astronomically expensive and she wouldn't be able to afford it.

don't like the limited part honestly :-\ was there any realy good schools far off that she had to miss out on?

No, we ended up finding an excellent school about an hour away with a great tv/film major. I know, I know . . . selfish on our part to want her not so far away. I have a feeling after graduation she's gonna go all west coast on us (we're in PA). I just wanted her close by for a few more years! :neutral:

what you described about no password etc sounds like MAC filtering if you don't have to enter a password unless you just have an open router. Try this:

browse to 192.168.1.1 again and use the admin login and then browse to the 'Wireless' Tab and then the 'Wireless MAC Filter' tab. is it enabled and are there any entries?
 
i don't spank.....

i will take all your stuff and leave you with a matress blankets and some clothes and nothing else....

happend to both my kids once.....

they do what their mom says now....

Girls shouldn't be sent to far from home.

Before you know it, they stop doin' dishes, sewin', bakin' pies, and start appearing in "Girl's Gone Crazy" videos, and posing with Octopii.

Well damn it, it's not letting me in. We changed the password and I have it all written down but it's not taking it. It's not taking admin, admin either. Hmmmm . . . .

I have to find out what our IP address is, if it's not the default one . . . .
 
Children should be raised in cages, well out of reach of anything valuable and easily cleanable by hosing them down with lysol and bug spray. The healthy children should only be alowed out of the cage to do their chores and to go to school. Children kept in cages will not normally require beatings, but if they committ a beatable offense while in school or doing their chores they should be soundly beaten with an oak paddle measuring 28" long and 5 1/2" wide. When the beating is completed they should be returned to their cage and all whining, crying or whimpering shall be ignored.

I never spanked my kids. Oh they got their hand slapped if they were reaching for something that would hurt them when they were little, but only if they did it more than a few times.
There were probobly times they deserved it, but neither my wife or myself wanted to do it.
I suppose some will argue that makes us bad parents. I offer to those that I was spanked when a child, and the "talking to" was always much worse than being spanked. I always gave my kids a good "talking to" when they needed it.
They seem to have turned out fine.

hmm did you change the router name? try that as the username if you did with whatever password you set
 
Just wanted to add that for those that liked that our kids have no tvs in their rooms . . . if they had a computer with internet access, that would enable them to watch whatever they wanted in their rooms (via the internet). So, no computers either. Besides the internet is like letting the whole world into your kids bedroom. Nu uh, not doing that. With it in the living room we can keep an eye on them and what they're doing.

We have a tv in our bedroom, one in the family room w/comcast on demand box and one in the basement w/comcast on demand box. We utilize the parental controls with the on demand boxes . . . helps greatly when we don't want them watching stuff like mtv or movies or shows that we don't think are appropriate. Drives my son nuts cause he wants to watch all these 'action' type movies. Some are ok, some are not . . . depends on what they filter out (they frequently leave too much in, imo) The parental controls give us peace of mind.

Know what you mean, we lived where we used an antenna; 3, 4 channels, tops. We watched a lot of war movies and adventure flicks. By the time they made it to high school, the history teacher couldn't show them 'an old war movie' that they hadn't seen. After high school we got a dish, and they still don't care to watch a lot.
 
Coming from a kid's perspective, spanking just provokes a child. It always made me much more angry at my parent(s). But I guess it is effective for some people.

Then the follow thru lessons given were not good enough....

And kids will get angry at parents no matter how they are stopped from doing what they want to do....

I would rather have the child provoked or angry than not learning a lesson because the 'friend' parent does not hammer down or show the harsh consequences for actions

Coming from a parent's perspective... we know that the kid perspective lacks wisdom and experience enough to make all proper decisions and choices anyway... and if left to the 'kid perspective', the raising of the child would be much worse

Where you a kid, once?

I have everything typed up from when we changed it but it's not taking the un or pw I have on the paper I typed. My guess is that it has to do with turning the modem/router off and on all the time. I can reset the router back to the default (admin) tomorrow and see if I can get in. I think it did this before. lol, this is why we just turn the damn modem and router off and on, it works and we get on with things. Also, our router is password protected from outside use, it's just that we don't have to enter a password for the router every time we go online. My daughter did the first time she came back from college and we had the new router but just that one time.
