Nice show of throwing random networking terms around Thoran. You actually know what routers and/or proxy servers are? 
[/QUOTE]Well considering that there are several methods of getting to the internet and he could be cutting off access at any one of those points it requires more information to answer the question.
My current home network uses a PDC running Win2003AS, and a Gateway box also on 2003AS... it used to run RRAS, now running ISA Server (used to be MS Proxy Server). If his brother is a computer geek he could have a dedicated setup like this (or an equivelant using Linux) and be restricting access that way, OR he could be using a simple Cable/DSL Router... which could also be used to limit access... or he could simply be jumping on Gab's system and disabling the network adapter or modem (if dialup), or any of a large number of possiblities for shutting down a internet connection.
If you think Routing and Proxy servers are random terms maybe I should add some background info on how they work?
