Title: Can I block LAN access?
Post by: sholland on December 16, 2009, 12:44:40 PM

Using the DIR-655, is it possible to block one computer from accessing another on the LAN? I can block IP addresses, but these only seem to be IP addresses outside of the local network - unless I'm missing something quite obvious.

Thanks!

No, you cannot restrict access to local IP's. You can restrict wireless clients to connect (and see) to eachother. But this is not possible with wired connections.

Hi sholland,

You can use McAfee Personal Firewall doing what you want. You can block a LAN Computer Internet Access, using the Network Filter: http://192.168.0.1/Advanced/MAC_Address_Filter.shtml (http://192.168.0.1/Advanced/MAC_Address_Filter.shtml)
