I am completely agreeing with you. Rudster, you should really stop whining. Your father pays for your ADSL which, I might add, he does not actually have to. For what my opinion is worth, I would hazard a guess at the fact that you ping into the 600s suggesting that your Internet connection is far from being the best anyway, even with one other computer piggybacking on it.
Try doing something other than gaming, how about you socialise with your friends whilst his are round?
If you are truly hellbent on stopping him, then I would suggest assigning static IPs on your router to each computer, disable DHCP and set a strong password after blocking his machine. Either that, or put in your own proxy server with MySpace reassigned via hosts to the loopback.
Brookfield, I have had no problems reading any of the posts in this thread and I really fail to see what you find "unreadable". Perhaps it is simply you who cannot read it and, consequently, believe that nobody else should either have the right or the capability to do so. And yes, the thread has returned from wherever it went because I am reading it now.
Kindly stop bolstering your own post count by posting absolute garbage in response to another post in which you were clearly beaten by another member. I refer to post 31 at the top of this page, and this is not the first occasion on which you have done this either even in my relatively short time being here.
