Spot on, Lisi!

Hello,
If the computer is not supposed to be connected at all, then maybe:

sudo service network-manager stop

and
sudo service network-manager start

(in cron jobs) would be fine and would do what you wish

I haven't been following the thread (discussion beyond my technical
reach) but couldn't the little man boot up a live cd or usb drive and
surf his little heart out? Someone talked about targeting the MAC
address of the machine (which I suppose would obviate this workaround).

True, however in this case he could also soon or late find how to get around using macchanger...

Good luck
