Don't worry about cron - it's easy..

in /etc/crontab add an entry like ;

# run net-down.sh script at 10pm weekdays
0 22 * * 1-5	/sbin/net-down.sh

# reload it every morning
0 6 * * *	/sbin/net-up.sh


then make your scripts called net-down.sh and net-up.sh, chmod 755 them,
and biff them in /sbin


Please note, this is off the top of my head...  debug first!
