Automatically disable the internet at a certain time of the day for a laptop?

There's 3 laptops and a PC in our house, and I'd like to disable the internet for 1 of the laptops at say 11PM and then re-enable it at like say 7AM. Is there anyway I can do this? I'm using a ZyXEL router.

Check the routers Config page in your browser for some form of Sheduling/Access Restrictions.
That should allow you to do what you want.

I've checked, I can't find anything on there. My router model is a NBG334W.

if it is running vista you can use the user accounts and block internet traffic, i have done that with my daughters laptop

Page 133 onwards might help

... or as Soup Dragon says, set the restrictions on the laptop - unless, of course, the user has admin access.

NAT > Content Filter - here you establish the times but I don't think you can lock it down to a specific IP / MAC.

What are the chances the other PC's will need access during those times?
