Well, the issue, as it turns out, is the filter won't CUT OFF a connection,
only prevent a NEW connection from happening.

For example, web surfing and such can be blocked on the fly. I just tested
it with a deny rule that kicked in while he was on the XBox, and I was on
the computer using the web browser.  Web Browser barfed, couldn't find the
site, but the XBox just chugged along.  Reading at the D-Link website, they
state that continuous connections will not be broken, just new ones can't
be established.

Back to the drawing board.

We do have the link to the Bungie website though, where ALL online games
are logged, with the time that the last game was played, so we have an
after-the-fact check.  More extraordinary measures can be taken, like
removing the controllers for several days till he "tows the line"
.
