RE: block internet at two workstations

I hope this isn't a repeat message... my outlook is acting up...

Yeah, the netgear box is set up for DHCP... If I set static IPs, I don't
want a smart network user to be able to reset the default gateway

My ISP guys said:
Most routers will allow you to filter by Mac address. i.e. Use winipcfg
or ipconfig to get the Mac address of the network card in the work
stations you wish to block. Then add them into the filtered list. This
will allow them the freedom of the inside network but will not be able
to surf outside.

That sounds good.  Not sure if the netgear FVS 318 will do that though

Oh its there.  I would think the netgear is dolling out dhcp info to the
workstations.  setup the workstations in question with static settings
and
omit the default gateway entry.

With the ISP I'm using and the netgear FVS 318 box, I don't need a
default gateway entered at all on the stations

I'm working with a small (10 user network) with a netgear FVS318
firewall, accessing the internet via cable modem.. The client wants to
block internet access at two workstations.  I don't see anything
available within the firewall documentation/configuration that would
address this.  What is the best and easiest way to do this ...easy and
best may be a contradiction :-)
 
TIA
Tim
