Question about DD-WRT

[Doomer]

I tell it to block a certain PC from the Internet and it doesn't. I've entered the ip and MAC address and still no joy. Is there some secret to getting this to work?

Did you check the "Enable" check box? I've forgotten to do that a couple of times...

Whew, thanks. Apparently you have to hit both Apply Settings and Save for it to work. i didn't think this was the case since "Save" briefly changes to "Saved" when you hit Apply. Anyway, it's now working. Thanks for the help.
