They can always change this so you will have to check you network to see if they are accessing it. Hope this helps.
    it's under System>Administration however, I can't find anything pertaining to hosts or host names. If you can locate it, please tell me the specific location.

    To disable wireless connection You may use this thread:
    (there is described a way to autoCONNECT to a network, using Dbus and NetworkManager)
    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=800330
    create a nmcli script as described there and make it executable.
    Then use the final script from my post which auto-enables the connection, and use the name of desired network to disable instead of VPNNAME and stop instead of start.
    The network will be auto-disconnetcted in the given ammount of time.
    Here is how script commands work by me:
    Code:
    yan@yan-laptop:~$ nmcli
    Usage: nmcli connexion_name start|stop
    ---Available Connections:
    Auto eth0
    Auto UbuntuAdhoc
    Auto Beeline_WiFi_FREE
    Auto Beeline_WiFi
    Auto TIS
    Auto wl11(tel.988-7636)
    Auto TDEBC-1-AP
    Auto Beeline_WiFi_PREMIUM
    Auto LPQ_Free
    ---Active Connections:
    Auto Beeline_WiFi
    yan@yan-laptop:~$ nmcli Auto\ Beeline_WiFi stop
    active_connection_path=/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/3
    method return sender=:1.2 -> dest=:1.350 reply_serial=2
    And the connection breaks...

    I deleted this post before I started any wars... but some of those proposed 'solutions' are criminal and made me angry!

    I'm all calmed down now. Sorta.

    Actually, the script to disable the connection using nmcli should look like this:

    Code:
    #!/bin/bash
    
    for (( ; ; )); do
    
    # creating ifinite loop
    
    tested=$(nmcli|grep -c WIFI)
    # WIFI here is the name of desired connection to monitor. The results can be:
    # 0 - this connection does not exist
    # 1 - connection exists, but not active
    # 2 - connection exists, and is active
    case $tested in
    "0")
    echo "cannot find desired connection in avaliable list"
    ;;
    "1")
    echo "conection avaliable, but not connected" 
    ;;
    "2")
    echo "connection seems to work, disabling it NOW" 
    nmcli WIFI stop
    ;;
    esac
    # enter desired time between checks here.
    sleep 30 
    done
    then put this script to autorun
    This is no Zaku, boy!
