Blocking one computer from accessing the internet, but NOT from accessing the rest of the network

Question

Hi Folks:I have one computer that I would like to prevent from being able to access the internet, but I need it to be able to access, and be accessede by other computers inside the network.&nbsp; Im guessing that I can do this by blocking all ports to that specific IP (page 56 in the manual) But I would like to confirm this to make sure that im not setting myself up for problems&nbsp;&nbsp;ThanksTIM

Hello taholmes160,

&nbsp;

I understand that you would like to block services from&nbsp;the internet to&nbsp;one device.&nbsp;Blocking the correct ports to an IP address will disable services to that device.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Please ensure that the IP address configured for the device is statically assigned and is a reserved IP address.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

To reserve an IP address for your router please follow the instructions listed below.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

First: Advanced &gt; Lan setup &gt; Address Reservation &gt; ADD

&nbsp;

Next: Input the MAC address along with IP address and device name

&nbsp;

Then: Select the green&nbsp; "ADD"&nbsp;button

&nbsp;

Please let me know if this helps!

&nbsp;

Best

Kevin
