new, can you help with netgear?

ok, my father had locked a couple of my game sites and such(nothing bad, just stuff like aim, and myspace and sites like that) with this thing called netgear. now i know how he acesses it and such but i still have no idea what it is. i looked it up on google and it came with this.
http://www.netgear.com/index_hm.php
basically a store that sells wireless internet stuff.
is there a way i can disable it, or just disable it from blocking my sites i want to go to.

plus im new at this so if theres any tips on stuff i should become common with i apperciate them all. thanks

What is a "netgear"?

And you got their homepage?

And you still can't figure it out?

Whoa...

Oh FFS

for COL....

i am really new at this so i have no idea what you guys just said. basically what i think netgear is, is my internet connection. he goes to a site and puts in a screename/password and it blocks my sites. do you know if theres a way around that, or do i have to just brute force crack it. like i said i have a very limited idea on this, i just wanted an idea of what i could do.
thanks
ozzie

Find out why your father blocked these sites, and then fix your attitude, so both of you can come up with a solution.

If you don't know what this thing called a "netgear", then how can you even crack it? Good luck :what:

RTFM, dude. You don't know squat.

You need to learn to use the internet.

Connecting to a game server and using AIM doesn't count here. Devpon's right: fix your attitude and then sit down with the Ol' Man.

No Xmas presents here. Sorry.

i know why he blocks them and everything, and i agree that i dont no anything. ive been reading some of the dicussions and ive been learning as i go. thanks anyway.

you guys have any suggestions on how to further my knowledge on computers/networking?

Don't feel bad, we're all on the learning curve. A wise man once said life is a school.

It really does sound like you need to sit down with your dad. Technology has a way of turning us into demanding ten-year-olds sometime. I'm probably no exception, but I'll never admit that.

;)

p.s.-- I really like your quotes in the byline.

RTFM (read the f'ing manual). Read, read, read. Then study some more.

hoping to avoid that but ok.
thank you very much
ozzie

The answer's in the manual, ozz. Believe me, it's there...

Don't take this personally...

:D

RTFM won't help much. Eventually you'll probably figure out that netgear is your router and depending on your IP, you can probably get to it with a webbrowser at 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 and you'll be met with a prompt for a username and password you may or may not know. If it's still the default you'll be able to find it, if not your dad will know but you won't. And somewhere on that web interface is probably a place to block certain sites or ports. So I think the people that said sit down with your dad had it right.

He-heh, won't RTFM'ing eventually get you to factory defaults? Give the kid a break...
