MBRN3000 Block Services feature malfunctioning

When I block a service on my MBRN3000 on any IP address it affects all my IP addresses and devices on my network, not just the IP address or range that I specify. Furthermore it seems like it blocks all ports, so even if I enable the feature for one IP and one port it locks down all my IP addresses on all ports. I verified this by looking at the Logs. To remove the blocks I have to do a factory reset or load a previous config. Simply deleting the rule doesn't remove it. Any body else with this issue or with a sollution?

    How are the IP's issued, are you using address reservations? Does the trusted IP work.

    Yes my IPs are issued with address reservation, and I have the DHCP server running on 192.168.0.160-199. I want to block services on the IP addresses issued by the DHCP server (160-199) But when I set up my rule like that, or even just on one address. All my traffic gets blocked across all ports. Im not sure what you mean with trusted IPs, I assume you mean the ones I reserved. Thanx for your reply!
