Try looking under "Accounts" on a Mac or "User Accounts" on Windows 7 and look under Parental Controls.

The Mac has a few more parameters to play with then Windows does. Windows basically has access restrictions for USING the computer.

If you have a Wireless Router, most have restrictions for time and/or day, Blocked services like Web, Web sites, e-mail, etc, for connections for the internet. I think they can be set locally. You can block it via the MAC Address of the computer, the IP address or a range of them. The wireless restrictions only has an On/Off for "A" particular computer. Not a time or day. You would have to turn it on and off daily or whenever.

I don't know if anyone has a setup for just turning the Wireless on or off at a set time. You can turn wireless off at the router but it's for everyone.

If your PC is connected with wireless can you connect your ps3 with an Ethernet cable from your PC?

The ethernet cable should come from a modem or router. The plug for you PC is likely the one that would go to the router or modem from your PC. Just as the PS3 has the ability to be either Wired or WiFi so do some computers and that is why they have a spot for an ethernet cable. The PS3 has Network setting that can be switched to allow you to have a wireless connection or a wired connection, but not to have both. The wired connection provides the best connection for the PS3 because the connection can not be lost as with a WiFi connection. You will also find when running the connection test for the PS3 better speeds for the wired connection.

If there is wifi does a laptop computer need anything else to connect to internet?

To connect to the internet via wifi you will need: A wifi enabled laptop/pc OR a wifi card/adapter. A wifi router/network with the internet connection connected to it. As long as your router is set-up correctly and your laptop is fairly new you shouldn't have any trouble connecting to the internet.
