So... I have this other crazy idea. What if I want to simply block the neighbour's wireless based on time of day? Would it look like this?

Code:

$IPTABLES -A INPUT -m mac --mac-source 00:00:00:00:00:00 -m time --timestart 23:30 --timestop 07:30 --days Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat -j DROP

If it is supposed to look like that, then would I get away with it knowing to go from 11:30pm to 7:30am the next day? Or would I have to make two separate rules like this?

Code:

$IPTABLES -A INPUT -m mac --mac-source 00:00:00:00:00:00 -m time --timestart 23:30 --timestop 23:59 --days Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat -j DROP
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -m mac --mac-source 00:00:00:00:00:00 -m time --timestart 00:00 --timestop 07:30 --days Sun,Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri,Sat -j DROP

One other question... you had my wheels turning when you said I can reverse the meaning by putting in the ! in the iptable rules. I have the flu/cold right now, so I can't think straight.

Is it possible to block ALL internet connection after 11:30pm, no matter where the connection? I assume so. I think I'm over complicating things in my head. I have yet to talk with my friend, but I want to give him all the options of what he wants to do. Perhaps that's what he's really looking for. No connection anywhere at night when his son would be alone on the internet (like if they're on vacation, etc).
