hi

thats the problem

i havent done anything about the internet cafe software
wat we have created is the interface and the database of students in SQL server 2000

ideas that I have ::
1) change the default gateway using netsh (so ineffect he is gone out of the network)

2)log off the student from the computer nd change the password programmatically(i have the code for that )

3)use ISA server facilities

help plzzzzz


3)

The way I would go about something like this is to have a script that executes during the user login which acts as a countdown timer. When the timer reaches 30 minutes log off the student and change the account's password, basically executing the code that you have in your second idea. You could also set a locked flag (boolean) in the database to determine if the account has "authority" to continue processing, if not you can log the account off.
