Just recently setup a computer with ipcop on it to route the internet and i was looking at a way to block a certain ip from connecting to the internet i found this http://www.zpdee.net/~joecat/ipban.html but the only problem is my version of ipcop is to new anyone know of anything else to do what i am looking for?

My netgear router has all that built in :) It owns for like $150... :)

edit: saw it was IP not ports... what exactly do you want (more details, i don get it)

install software firewall on each workstation on your network... ban that IP.





you can never be too paraniod sure

i want to be able to stop certain people on the network from connecting to the internet but i want to find the most simple way of doing this. I thought it would be easy doing it hrough the router seeing that the internet goes through there.

if i were you, i'd get rid of any gateway settings on the client machine (unless it's xp, cos im not remembering how xp does it's internet connection...)

the client machine's are on xp

bargh, was afraid of that

hang on, trying to find some documentation on it
