How to disconnect from internet for a specified time?

Hi, I just read about an application that allows you to set times when your computer is disconnected from the internet. Unfortunately, the name of the application was not mentioned, nor whether it runs on a Mac or not. Does anyone know of such an application? It could come in handy in increasing one's kids' (and one's own) productivity.
Thank you.
M. Chaouli

Thank you for the helpful response. What I really want is a program that lets me sever all connections to the internet (e-mail, web, i-chat, etc.) for specified periods of time. Perhaps parental controls allows this. I'll have to look into it.
Thanks again,
mc

My 1st generation Time Capsule/2007 keeps shutting off and disconnecting from internet? What could be the problem? How long do the Time Capsules usually last?

That it is still working is miraclous.. most have died.. lots started flaking out at 18months to 2years..
See deadtimecapsule.org
The few that remained now seem to have reached EOL.. you can repair if you have some skills.. fairly cheaply.
But it is well and truly time to replace.

If you have upgraded to version 1.1.1 or later there is a switch to disable cellular data while roaming. By default it is set to disable data. Settings/General/Network Data Roaming.
You can monitor cellular data usage in Settings/Usage. Reset it just before traveling.

Macbook Pro freezes when disconnected from Internet

I'm so frustrated, I was doing important work and now I'm about to pull my hair out, I need to finish what I was doing but I can't even turn on my computer without it freezing, I literally can't even move the mouse because it freezes right on loading screen every time I restart, here's the story.
I disconnected the Internet for just a few seconds, then the computer froze. So naturally I restarted the computer, but each time I restart, it just freezes, I can't move the mouse, I can't click on anything, it's just frozen. Let me know how frustrating that is that you don't have computer access after working on important files.
I have a 2008 non unibody Macbook pro with OS X mavericks, I knew the computer froze when I turned off wifi, but I correlated that with the app that I was running, since I wasn't running the app this time, I thought I could turn off wifi no problem.
But like I said, now I can't even restart or use it at all. I can't even use safe mode because it freezes there too. I can do the cmd+shift+ctrl+r thing and I can connect to the Internet that way, but there's nothing I can do from there. Once I restart, the Internet connection is still disconnected in the main operating system.

Okay I solved the problem. For anyone who runs across this issue in the future, here is the solution:
Step 1) Turn on the computer and hold CMD + Option + S, this will boot the computer into single user mode
Step 2) Type in "Mount -uw /"
Step 3) Type in "vi /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist"
Step 4) Scroll down until you find this part:
<key>Interface</key>
<dict>
        <key>en1</key>
        <dict>
                <key>AirPort</key>
                <dict>
                        <key>JoinModeFallback</key>
                        <array>
                                <string>DoNothing</string>
                        </array>
                       <key>PowerEnabled</key>
                        <false/>
                        <key>RememberJoinedNetworks</key>
                        <true/>
                        <key>RequireAdminIBSS</key>
                        <false/>
                        <key>RequireAdminNetworkChange</key>
                        <false/>
                        <key>RequireAdminPowerToggle</key>
                        <false/>
                </dict>
        </dict>
</dict>
Step 5: Edit the part where it says:
<key>PowerEnabled</key>
<false/>
and change it to <true/>
Step 6: Hit Ctrl + X, hit Y for Yes, press enter.
Step 7: RESTART AND YOU HAVE YOUR COMPUTER BACK!!
I panicked by the way because as someone said earlier, it's nearly impossible to fix:
You cannot fix this problem with Safe Boot, Repair Permissions, Repair Disk, re-install Mavericks, restore from Time Machine backup, reset the SMC, reset PRAM, or boot into single-user mode. Thus far, the only solution is to boot from a (homemade) Install OS X Mavericks USB, erase the hard drive, perform a clean Mavericks install, re-install your applications, and manually restore your data.
Anyway I'm thankful for Ira Wolf 81 for figuring out, he deserves all the credit for this, I merely repeated his steps and found out he was right. Cheers.

How to downgrade from Internet explorer 11 to internet explorer 10 on windows server 2008 R2

Hi,
Can someone please let me know how I can downgrade from IE11 to IE10 in my windows server 2008 R2. When I go to control Panel -> Programs -> features and I don't see any program name with internet explorer in that list. Also, when I go to on
'View installed updates', I don't see any update related to IE 11 installed. And, when I click on 'Turn windows feature on or off', it takes me to Server Manager and in there I dont find any feature related to IE.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,

After installing visual studio, I get continuously disconnected from internet

Hi all.
I just installed Visal Studio 2013 Community on my new Acer R13 with W8 Pro. After installation, I get continuousy disconnected from internet. It seems to be something with the virtual adapter that VS creates in order to run WP emulators. Some times I have
to wait a minute or two and the connection comes back up, but sometimes I have o restart my system in order for it to work. Has any one run into this? Any suggestions?
The same thing happend o me on my old latop, a Samsung Chronos Serires 7. I used to think it was a problem with that compuer, but now it seems like a VS or Windows issue.
Thanks.

Hi Hugonne,
Based on your issue, to check this issue is related to the VS IDE or your Windows OS, I suggest you could try to install same version of VS on other machine check the issue.
(1) If you get same issue, I suggest you can try to repaid or re-install the VS2013 Community and then reset the VS setting check this issue.
(2) If you did not get same issue, I suggest you try to check your network connections on your windows. If the network connections did not have issue, maybe you will need to repair or re-install your OS check this issue again.

2) How to SMI Label/Format a disk while OS Installation in Solaris 11.1?
As we know that ZFS is the default filesystem in Solaris 11.
We have seen in the Oracle documentation that for rpool below are recommended:
- A disk that is intended for a ZFS root pool must be created with an SMI label, not an EFI label.
- Create root pools with slices by using the s* identifier.
- ZFS applies an EFI label when you create a storage pool with whole disks.
- In general, you should create a disk slice with the bulk of disk space in slice 0.
I have seen the solution that using format -e, we change the labelling but all the data will be lost, whats the way to apply a SMI Label/Format on a rpool disks while OS Installation itself.
Please provide me the steps to SMI Label a disk while installaing Solaris 11.1 OS.

Oracle recommends below things on rpool: (thats reason wanted to apply SMI Label)

How to run a VI for very short time, e.g. 100ms?

Hi,
I need to run a VI for very short amounts of time, say 100ms, 200ms, 500ms or 1s. I want to get this time from the user, maybe as a control variable. How may I do this? I tried using the "elapsed time" function but seems like it was not meant for such small time periods. Any ideas?
Thanks
Kaiser

What are you trying to do in the "short time"? When you say "run a VI" do you mean "start, run and stop running", or do you mean for the vi to do something for the specified time, i.e. flash a front panel LED for a precise period after the operator clicks a button? In the later case 100mS is actually fairly long, and can be accomplished with various timing functions, with varying degrees of accuracy. The most accurate, in a Windows environment, would probably be the timed loop. If you need really accurate, particularly if you are interfacing with hardware (a pushbutton, an actual lamp, etc.) a real-time system would be the best bet.

How to prevent from starting oracle server every time i start windows?

I have winXP professinonal, and i would like to know how to prevent from starting oracle server every time i start windows. Because it really slows starting the windows. Thanks

The scripts above seems to work as intended with no errors and do indeed stop my five XE services. I created the second script to start them and they do indeed start and are listed as "Started" in the Services panel aferwards.
My XE installation has the 5 services set up to start automatically.
I was happy to find the script above because I did not know the starting order and using the XE shortcuts for "Stop Database" and "Start Database" just seemed to cause sqlplus to receive ORA-12514 "listener does not currently know of service..." after trying to use them to restart the database. Using the scripts above seems to leave me with a different error.
I am pretty sure I eliminated my 9i listener and it is no longer listed in my Services panel or the registry.
Restarting the laptop does start the services correctly, and now I am on to a more pressing JDBC error, so if I get a chance to use the script again, I will post my results. Thanks.
