I have about a dozen people accessing the net via a Linksys router.
I need to deny browsing capabilities to one workstation in particular while still allowing access to POP mail (ports 25 & 110).
The router itself has some of this functionality built-in based on MAC addresses, but it seems to be an “all or nothing” type of option. Denying web access is possible, but this also denies email access.
Most of the low-end Linksys routers I’ve worked with have all had roughly the same configuration screens. Your filtering options are probably limited to:
Blocking a single IP address or range of IP addresses.
Blocking a MAC address.
Blocking a single port or range of ports.
So you can’t tell the router that user x may use ports 25 and 110, but not port 80. That’s Linksys for you.
Maybe there is some way you can pull it off with that thing, but I sure don’t know what it is. If you can’t get any useful info here, you may want to try the Linksys forum at http://www.tek-tips.com
