  8. Scroll down to the Register section and select either "Internet Access" or "No Internet Access".
  9. Set the start time, end time, and day(s) for the computer's permitted access time. "0" refers to midnight. For example, if you set Computer A to have "Internet Access" from 7:00-10:00 on Thursday and Saturday, then Computer A can only access the Internet during those times and would not be able to get online during other times.
