i got a smc 4 port dsl router, can i make it only accept traffic to 1 IP.

[abc]

for example for the four pcs, 1laptop & 3 workstations, to cat5 to all four ports, can i modify the router so that it only allows my laptop specifically with IP 192.68.1.3 (for ex) connect to the Internet.


or any device that allows this?

can you block access on the mac level, or you could even just block certain ports so you could leave email open for example.

There are differences between Barricades Model.

Most can do it.

Log to DHCP server switch to fix mapping and you can control each computer.

Quote from Barricade 7004BR Help:

Connection control

Connection control allows an administrator to allow or deny "connection" to clients trying to access the Barricade and the Internet. Check "Connection control" to control which of the clients will be able to "connect" to the Barricade and to the Internet. If a client is denied "connection" to this device, it means that the client can't access the Internet and some network resources. Choose "Allow" or "Deny" to allow or deny clients, whose MAC addresses are not listed in the "Control table".

? When a client CAN "Connect" to the Barricade, it means that it can have full access to the Internet and Network Resources.

? When a client CAN NOT "Connect" to the Barricade, it means that it CAN:

1. Communicate with the other clients on the LAN But CAN NOT:

2. Connect to the Internet

3. Use the Print Server function

4. Use the Barricade's Web configuration

hi jack, i do have the 7004br

so i can block at the MAC level...


that sounds very interesting....


basically my story is this, i am big time pissed right now, i have shared broadband for about 2 yrs and counting @ 50 per month with somebody and they aren't paying up... now it's time to turn off the lights

so this will work long as he doesn't know how to http into the smc and reverse my configs.

Read carefully the Help.

It states:

Can Not

?4. Use the Barricade's Web configuration?

Which means.

Once it is blocked, he cannot log to the SMC any more.

 

[abc]

if I am not careful, I could accidentally block myself from http into the router even?

 

[JackMDS]

True.

Make sure you learn ahead how to reset the Barricade.
