I do appreciate that Dennis and Chuck have both taken the time and effort to respond, but unfortunately - I still don't have an answer to the original question. Is there a way to set the MT HotSpot feature to handle logons for a customer who desires to be able to disable internet access from their location when that customer's router already has a static public IP address.
For a variety of reasons, I would like to be able to accomplish this rather than tell the customer such a thing is not possible, or that they need to buy new computers, or that they should not let their kids use the computers to play games on because they cannot guarantee that the kids will not access the internet when they were not supposed to, or..... Refer to my original post for more information, or contact me directly if you think such a thing can be done or even if you think it cannot be done. Thanks!
