new but related OT question
Now that I am on an open connection, how do I disconnect if DGD wants to
play games? I don't want her accidentally going online. Or can I disconnect at all?

Since I'm not sure what service you are using I would phone your
provider. They often have some protection for us. Good to have you back.

I dont know how your system is set up but on ours there is a cord running
from the router to the computer. It has on both ends a jack end that is just like the kind on telephones. It is not hard to remove it from one end or the other ...and reconnect when needed. Other than that if you have a router you can turn the router off. These only help if the DGD isnt able to rehook things up. But... you can always take the cables completely off the router and computer and hide them! Diana "Queen of Squishies" wrote in message news:ZDGEc.5175$wY5.1137@attbi_s54...

You can turn off your cable modem at the main box. I guess it depends on
the age of your DGD whether she would turn it back on. Don't forget to write down your password that you will rarely use. Once in a while the connection goes wonky and wants your password to get back online. I had a heck of a time retrieving one when that happened!

Thanks, everyone! I think that will work, she's only 8 and not interested
or knowledgable about these things. I just want to make sure her games can't take her online. Cheers!
