Sorry, Didn't mean to send that last one yet :) To further clarify my last email, I am assuming you are assigning Private IP's via DHCP (most routers come out of the box enabled this way now) Most routers have a DHCP pool by default but then has a block of maybe the first 10 or 20 IP's not in the DHCP pool. Use 2 of the Static IP's for the computers that need to be taken offline then just do not put in any DNS servers in. If the router does not have any IP's set aside configure the router to where you have the first 10 or 20 so you can static assign them, as you need. This is always a good idea to have some set-aside just in case anyways. This is probably your simplest solution.

I called Netgear and they said that feature is not available in any of their routers... I couldn't find any reference to deny rules or filtering IPs or MAC addresses in the documentation either From: tombin [mailto:tomb1n () attbi com] Sent: Tuesday, May 06, 2003 9:11 AM To: Tim Laureska Subject: Re: block internet at two workstations Those netgear cable sharing routers, have the ability to block MAC addresses. Just add the 2 machine's MAC addresses into the firewall rules to deny. Check the help file located on the router for a better description of how to do this. Tim Laureska wrote:

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

best may be a contradiction :-) TIA Tim
