Re: block internet at two workstations

Is your firewall cabable of blocking MAC addresses?
If you have if you have a proxy server you can like squid
you can configure acls which will allow either a range
of IP addresses or MAC addresses through and deny
others. I guess you can do this with MS ics.

It really depends on how you have your network configured.
is your firewall the default gateway for all machines on
the LAN. Are you running DHCP? 


I'm working with a small (10 user network) with a netgear FVS318
firewall, accessing the internet via cable modem.. The client wants to
block internet access at two workstations.  I don't see anything
available within the firewall documentation/configuration that would
address this.  What is the best and easiest way to do this ...easy and
best may be a contradiction :-)
 
TIA
