Does anyone know how to move the aim and facebook applications under the parental controls? I would like to turn off these functions while my daughter is supposed to be doing homework, but still allow her to listen to her music. These 2 applications are a huge distraction while she is trying to get work done. Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

I don't think that you can move specific apps under the parental controls, I think it only works with the apps that are listed there. The best thing I think you could do is either change the wifi password so she can't use the internet, thus facebook and aim. Or you could just unplug the internet router (so the wifi dies) while she is supposed to be doing homework, and then just plug it back in afterwards.

i put mac address baring on mine so that it looks as if they could connect, but they actually can't, how evil!

I know I could always turn off WiFi or the router, but the rest of the family has at least 3 laptops that need internet access during this time, so turning off the router is not an option. Other family members need internet access at the same time my daughter is doing her homework. Can I just interrupt her internet access on the router, but have 3 laptops still access the router?
What you could do is set the pass word on the iPod so that she doesn't know it then put it on hold. She can still control her music by double clicking the home button but she would need to know the password to do anything else.

You will need to look at your router. I've never set this on mine but I thought you could set rules based on the MAC address or some such other defining characteristic.

I have a wrt54g and it has that feature. And Mac addresses are easy to spoof!
