turn the router off, or get one of those timer switches for $5 or put this in /etc/crontab

It checks every minute so you still have a window :)

Thanks, I will probably use this as I don't want to limit access for other computers.
check that your interface is actually en0 by typing : ifconfig

of course you'll also lose all network, not just the internet

I suppose the other way is changing /etc/resolv.conf from

    nameserver 8.8.8.8
to

    nameserver 127.0.0.1
8.8.8.8 is google's speedy dns
